silly question.....but Im not to sure.....so

when we drink water.....does the water stay in our pouch or go right through to our bigger belly??????

I drink fast and alot and it doesn't bother me......but if it will stretch my pouch I would like to know so I can slow down....... so should I slow down......or keep drinking like I am???

i was told to not gulp water down but it goes through ur pouch pretty quick!

dark angel,

i do not think you should drink Water quickly. you could stretch your pouch....

oh no really?????? Iv been drinking this fast for like 6 weeks... I thought water went through really fast.....

I guess Im going to drink slow.....and talk to my doctor about it...

drinking slow??????? thats going to be hard......and how am I ever going to get the water intake I need....... ugh!!!!!!

I was told the same thing - no guzzling. I drink alot of green and white tea and I just take a mouthful and usually swallow it in a couple of swallows. I drink a gallon of the diet green tea a day easily.

Relax, it is not going to stretch your pouch. The liquid goes through fairly quickly and obviously its not causing you any discomfort. It would be an issue if you were trying to drink like this though if your pouch was already full of food.

No stretching. I guzzle water all the time and Snapple too. No problems...Best wishes!

I was under the same impression that I couldn't drink Water fast....to the point where I actually dehydrated myself shortly after my surgery. I finally called my nurse, and she told me that only applies to the first week, and after that I can guzzle until I'm full. Then I should give it a couple of minutes before continuing. I've been guzzling ever since with no problems whatsoever.

I think it's all just a matter of listening to your body and being able to recognize when it's time to stop...easier said than done, but it's a learning process!
