I keep reading that I’m not supposed to drink anything during mealtimes after having weight-loss surgery. Why is that? Is that a rule I’m meant to stick by just while I’m recovering from surgery, for the time I’m on the bariatric diet, or for the remainder of my life? It seems counterintuitive to me. Isn’t it hard to eat without anything to wash it down?
Why nothing to drink with meals?

What Ludmilla says is right. You need to wait after your food to let your stomach absorb all the nutrients. But also, as you will notice the food just takes a bit longer to go down, so if you drink right away it may feel like your drink just sits on top of your food. It’s not a great feeling!
