My surgeon is ok with me drinking before meals (no time limit)...but nothing to drink with meals or 30 minutes after the meal. It has been very hard to get used to, because I was one who was always eating and drinking, eating and drinking....you just have to train your brain! Also, the foods that you eat when you are first out of surgery are pretty bland...so the drinking urge was a little bit easier to handle because I didn't have anything spicy or salty. Those first few weeks out of surgery really help you get set up for creating good habits.

Hope this helps.
