I have always been told the "Lap-Band rules"

Do not drink anything 20-30 minutes before you eat a meal
Nothing to drink during the meal
Nothing to drink 20-30 minutes after a meal.

I can understand the reasoning with during and after, what I don't understand is before the meal. I had always heard before looking into the lap-band that it was good to drink a large glass of water before a meal.

I don't either, that is why I tell my patients that they can drink up until mealtime. Many patients have problems with the drinking "rules" but it is not the end of the world if they can't abide by them.

Not having something to drink during meals is very hard for me. It's something I grew up doing. I'm working on it. I do give myself the 30 minutes after meals before I start drinking. No sense in trying to wash thru what I just ate.
