    I think (think!) that someone who's had a gastric bypass operation isn't supposed to drink anything with their food, mainly because the stomach is too small to handle it all at once? For someone with a regular stomach this hardly is the case!

    I know that anything carbonated isn't allowed with a gastric bypass, but not sure about water. I would imagine that dehydration would be counterproductive.

    Hogwash!

    I particularly love that your profile picture seems to be illustrating the point that this is a huge pile of horse's ar$e.

    A happy coincidence I assure you! :)

    This is a true fact. No liquids 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after a meal. It's not necessarily because the stomach is too small to handle it, but because the liquids will help the food slide through the small pouch faster, thus enabling you to eat more . Hydration is key though, when you have this type of surgery, and many people need to focus very hard on getting an adequate water intake.

    I've read (and heard) that a few times, but never with any evidence whatsoever, and always from a completely uncredentialed source.

    I drink water before, during, and after meals.

    Nonsense.

    "They say" is rarely going to be a reputable source of info. Be leery of info that comes from 'They' 'Them' or 'People'.

    This is hands down the dumbest question I have ever seen on MFP.

    I drink water before, during and after meals. There have been zero bad effects. It has not kept me from losing weight.
    Please ignore your friends.

    also would be nice of people to not ridicule who put up questions to clear their doubt, no no it doesnt affect me much..just for other people who are not very comfortable to take the ridicule ...and come out to clear their doubts or food n health myths. We are here for each other to boost each other..clear our doubts..and have fun too in the process.. thats why the forums :)
    What ridicule? I see people talking down about your friends, but not about you.

    I would stop listening to your friends about fitness and nutrition.
