 |  Quick question
I was reading my paper work from my doc about my post-op diet and it says that I'm not supposed to drink for 3 hours after I eat.
3 hours????? 
When am I supposed to drink? 64 oz? That's at least 9 hours of awake time I can't drink. 
Does this sound excessive to anyone else?  |

Ditto To What Kath Said!!! I Never Heard Of 3 Hrs. You Wouldnt Have Time To Eat And Drink All Your Supposed To In One Day. Better Talk To Your Doc

My course information says 30 minutes before and after.
You need to clarify that with your doc. If you eat 4-5 little "meals" a day like most of us did, there's 12-16 hours a day when you can'd drink - not to mention whatever time it is they recommend you stop drinking beforehand!

Hey Kelly,
I have the same info on my packet.
I think its do to the flushing out of your pouch??
Maybe they want you to drink a large amount of H2O before you eat??
Don't know? Talk to the MD & keep us posted!!
LOL,

I am cleared to drink up to the point I'm ready to eat....but they INSIST I wait after eating...this is one of the hardest things I've had to adapt to...I'm from the South and we drink about 8 gallons of iced tea with EVERY meal, right?

You're funny Kath!!! Mine and Amina's packets say to drink before meals and then not after. I'm gonna ask, but no matter what answer they give me I'm only gonna wait 1 hour. If I wait 3, I will never have time!
