Question:
Why no liquid when we eat?

I'm a couple months post-op and wonering why exactly is it that we're not supposed to drink at the same time we eat? Does anyone out there know?    — Jessica J. (posted on June 13, 2001)

also the liquid fills your pouch and you will not be able to take in your much needed food.

And, depending on how much is in your pouch..the liquid could come right back up.

The counselor I talked to the day of my eval with my surgeon told me exactly the same thing that Barb D. mentioned.
