Eating/drinking question

I'm having a hard time coordinating the eating/drinking routine! I seem to enjoy drinking liquids much more than eating solid food (I'm 4 weeks out - on the 4th stage). However, I still feel slightly thirsty all the time and when I do eat solids, I have a real  urge to drink something soon thereafter. Can anyone advise how to coordinate with the "30 minutes between eating & drinking" in mind?

You will find what works best for you but my surgeon told us we could drink right up until we ate, so I try to do that right before I know I am going to eat.  Ocassionally I am wicked thirsty before 30 mins is up and a tiny sip won't hurt he said.  Just don't keep drinking.

read the post 2 or 3 below yours. I asked same questions.
