drinking and eating

I have noticed I have been very laxed on drinking without waiting my 30 minute rule. I am worried about it..more the mental part. I know Its bad..Does anyone else do this?  Be tough on me if this is all so bad. 

I have found myself doing this to. I am so afraid that it will cause me to gain some weight back. We have went through too much and worked too hard to get to where we are and we shouldn't throw that all away.  Today I made a conscious decision to wait the 30 minutes... and I have really noticed that I get full faster and stay full longer... So I guess I have been cheating myself. So yes.. cheating yourself and not waiting the 30 minutes is BAD!!!  I wish you the best of luck!

I've always had a small drink with my meal and never had any bad side effects.  My surgeon simply did not believe in that rule and he was president of the assoc of bariatric surgeons when I had him do my RNY back in 2000.  I don't drink more than a couple ounces.
