I have the same experience. I just ate and really want to get a drink. I was told to wait thirty minutes cause it washes the food out. I either try to drink all i can thrity minutes before eating to get the liquid I want or suck on a popsicle are meals instead of liquid so that it slowly goes into the tummy. Hope this helps. Good luck!

I notice you didn't say what you drink. Although many of us are thrilled that we can drink things like Crystal Light and diet soda instead of just water, one thing you need to know is nutrasweet or the like MAKES you hungry. So, if you're drinking something like that...maybe go back to basics - water.
