I was just going to throw out a tip.... How many of you drink while eating? I will drink up until I start eating and then I won't drink anything when I start eating and continue that for one hour after I eat. And then I drink like a fish. That way, your food stays with you longer.

    Same here. Plus, drinking while eating a meal helps you to eat less, since the beverage takes up room in your stomach.

    I dont...might be repressed childhood thing "clean plate club" but when I know I'm about to eat I stop drinking until I'm finished my meal. Although its not always a clean plate these days :wink:

    My friend who had G/bypass, she can't drink during eating or for 30min after eating. But I have to drink while eating - washing down food & it helps fill me up faster.

    What are you eating that is so gross you have to "wash it down"? Or am I misunderstanding?

    Not because it's gross, but because food is sometimes dry. Unless I'm eating soup or watermelon, I get thirsty while I eat.

    I tend to have a glass of water before I eat, and another after. I can't drink during a meal - I'm one of those people who eats one food on her plate at a time, and I never remember to take sips in the middle. :P

    LOL I'm the same way :) I will have a glass of water with my meal but forget to take any sips until I'm done.

    I drink when I'm thirsty and don't put that much thought into it otherwise. :drinker:
