can someone tell me the purpose for sipping? i am a thursty guy and i cant bare to sip i need to drink a lot

I was never told to sip except for in the beginning right after surgery. I am a guzler.

In the beginning after surgery I sipped also, afraid of hurting myself. But now its chug a lug but gently ROFL !!!!

I could chug a lug up until I got good restriction, now if I do it it causes a PB type thing.

I only sipped after surgery as well. I drink normal now, and if it doesn't bother you, no problem drinking how you want to.

I don't sip either...but I just got my fill yesterday and am waiting for restriction.

I think you sip right after surgey b/c you are swollen and stuff, but now I have 2 fills, a decent amount of restriction, and I gag if I try to chug most drinks, but I can chug water like you couldn't imagine. I've never had any problems drinking alot of water at a time.

I sipped in the beginning, just because I couldn't take any gulps. Now I drink as normal.

I usually can gulp down water, however on occasion if I drink too fast I'll get all slimy. I guess my stomach pouch when overfilled with water thinks I have something stuck.

I generally don't have any problem with guzzling pretty fast, either. There were only a few short periods of high restriction where I had to sip (other than right after surgery).
