Drinking Water

How much water should I be drinking in one sitting? There are times after I exercise that I just want to guzzle it! Is that going to hurt my band?

No it wont hurt your band. I drink 5 or 6 16 0z bottles of water a day.

dont think u can have to much..but i have read and also been told by doc and nutritionist..never gulp or guzzle liquids, it can cause you to take in more air...sipping is best

What about using a straw

What about using a straw

No straw! Dr. told me it makes you swallow air, so it makes you gassy. :(

I will call Dr. tomorrow and find out the answer tomorrow. I'll let you know what they say!

Eight glasses a day is a good guide. don't wait until you are thirsty to drink, try to sip regularly throughout the day, except for that half hour before and after you eat, of course. I have no trouble getting my water in, helped I guess by having given up soft drink! I always have a water bottle with me and just keep on refilling it throughout the day. With exercise, I drink more but still don't need to guzzle to be feel satisfied.
