Why can someone not drink when eating after surgery?

Moving on doesn't mean you forget about things. It just means you have to accept what happened and continue LIVING

I'm pretty sure that liquids can't stretch your pouch as they pretty much go right through you, but they can make your food go through you faster as well, so that you lose the full feeling too quickly.

It also flushes out your food too fast. Before you have a chance to gather as many of the nutrients as possible.

ooohhhhh...gotcha....I'm one who usually finishes off a 500ml bottle of water with lunch and dinner, so that's obviously going to be a no-no...but you still need to get the water in, right?

Yes, you must still take all water in every day!

For some of us it makes us sick. I drank with my meals all the time before but if I do not I loose my lunch so to speak

This video is really great at showing why we shouldn't eat and drink at the same time.
