Water and eating
forever your sleeve will always be small and if you drink with or before eating there will not be room for enough food to keep you healthy and if you drink right after eating you flush the food out of your stomach and get hungry quicker
My surgeon says stop drinking before your first bite of food. They say the liquid passes through. After viewing my leak test, I agree.

My NUT disagrees about not drinking beforehand, but the not drinking 30-60 minutes after eating is forever.

Seriously - this advice is for RNY. Sadly, the bundle us all into the same folder. In a RNY pouch, there is no control to hold food in the pouch, so any liquids flush the food out and leaves the patient hungry again. The plyoric valve in a sleeve stomach controls the exit of food to the digestive system. If 'some' flushes out with drink, you won't be left hungry like with the RNY because of our lack of grehlin, and the flushing isn't as complete as with a pouch.
That being said, a stomach full of fluid cannot hold much food, so you should give a few minutes for drink to exit the stomach before you start eating, drink sparingly while eating if you must just to keep from getting too full too fast.

For me, drinking after I eat is just uncomfortable since my stomach is full - adding more stuff into my stomach at that point doesn't feel great. I'm happier to let things digest for a bit before drinking.
