Guest guest Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 I drink right up until the time I eat. In fact, I usually have a big glass of water, because I don't drink for at least an hour afterward. The only exception is a tiny sip to swallow pills about 20 minutes after I eat.....I like to take vites on top of some food. in Austin RNY April 1998 Drinking with meals > > What " rules " do the rest of you follow?

I drink right up until the time I start eating, then try to wait 30- 45 minutes after eating to drink again. I think the " water loading " before eating helps me to eat less. I couldn't wait two hours after eating to drink again, I'd be terribly thirsty. Celia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
