Try letting all the air out of your stomach and drinking with the air out of your lungs and stomach. Exhale then drink!I do this and I am able to take at least 8, on a tight band and 10 - 13 when my band is looser, big swallows of any beverage.

That shoulder pain is awful! It is gas! It can happen if your food is backed up or at night when your stomach gets a little bit more swollen and you don't have as much room to drink Water or if you have abused your stomach by overeating a little bit and the water starts backing up that can cause it. one simple trick that I've found, is every time I take a drink I let all the air out through my mouth and then I drink and I don't gulp and I don't use a straw. Once I started doing that I never got the shoulder pain again. I hope this helps. Sent from my SM-G928V using the BariatricPal App
