The thing to keep in mind is that the actual time frame will vary depending on your surgeon's recommendations. With my RNY, my surgeon is fine with me drinking right up till, and wants me to wait 30min after eating. Your milage may vary. They have been telling VSG types to stop about 15min before to allow the sleeve time to empty... but they're also re-examing this as well.
I saw a number of folks that say they wait longer if they are still feeling full... GREAT! That means you are listening to your body! You are making conscious choices based on what your body is telling you, and that's a great thing.
I keep thinking I need to update the video to include some info about how drinking and eating effects those with VSG, but need to do some more research on it first.
