Question:
Prior to eating or during eating I sip ice water/drink, a small amount.

My question is, could this cause my pouch entrance to constrict, causing my first bite of food to have problems as it flows to my pouch. Many time I have to sit for quite sometime, avoiding vomiting, until that first bite does get down. I am 5 months post-op, down 100+ pounds.    — Anthony A. (posted on April 22, 2003)

Not sure, but a good thing to do would be to try NOT drinking before or during to see if it helps :-) My surgeon advises not drinking at least 30 min before and after eating.

I also take little baby sips of something to drink when im eating and b/c I eat such little at a time just to save room for a sip or two, I have not had any problems. I have not dumped on over eating(well I have felt like bursting a couple times lol), just sugary foods. Good luck!
