Just a quick question when I'm on fluid and full fluid diet should I practice the 30 minute rule? When did you start?

If I wasn't eating I was drinking.... at that stage it was full time job. Now ( 2.5 months out) I must wait minimum of 30 minutes after or I feel really bad or puke. Just not enough room for food and drink.

I'm on full fluids too. In order to stay hydrated I don't follow this rule unless my new stomach tells me to. I'll implement it later on, but for now I'm in survival mode!!!
