Yes -the answer is NEVER EVER..............
We should never drink with our meals as it makes your food go through the pouch faster, the pouch empties faster, and we will not feel as full for as long. So please, please do not start doing that :-)

Ditto what Jackie said. I have been told by my surgeons office and most studies I read online say that drinking with meals and more importantly starting to drink carbonated diet soda again is a top reason why people start down the slippery slope to weight gain. In my opinion, after all this, it's just not worth rocking the boat. I always wait an hour after I eat to drink (my surgeon's requirement - others say 30min) and I have never started back with the soda.
Just keep doing what you're doing! :)

30 minutes before and after is what my surgeon's office has said regarding eating/drinking. For me personally I drink up until I eat then nothing for about 30 or so minutes after I eat. You have gotten great responses from Lauren & Jackie. All best!

Thankful for the easy, grateful for the hard & hopeful for tomorrow.
Ditto...never ever! I occassionally do it but rarely, it ever. My rule that I try gto follow is not for 30 min prior and 45 min after. If I am out with friends then I will drink up until. I will gtake small sips of Steve's drink or water if I need something but I try not to.
