The Pyloric Valve-How it works with the VSG
I do totally understand what you are saying and one rule why one should not drink for a while after eating dense food.

If the the Pyloric Valve is closed....nothing is getting past it....only what can pass through the diameter of the head of a ballpoint pen........And I guess if it was diluted it would speed things up.... I guess I don't have much experiance with that cause the few times I've drank to soon it didn't feel right.....I think once it was close to being to much.....

You may also note that due to the small stomach, the food passing through the pyloric valve is not as liquified as from a normal stomach due to the lack of digestive juices, which can lead to reactive hypoglycemia.
The upper bowel is used to much more dilute foodstuff coming through the pylorus, and calls for more pancreatic enzymes when the richer foodstuff hits it. When the pancreas reacts by dumping more insulin via the common bile duct, it causes a large reduction in the sugar absorption which can cause feelings of weakness and other diabetic symptoms. It is similar to the 'dumping syndrome' seen in RNY patients.
If it feels good, do it! And if it smells good, eat it!
