Is it possible to dink too much water at one time? if while trying to hit my daily 60 oz, and my pouch feels 'full' after maybe 10 oz of water, can that stretch/damage my pouch?

I dont see how when water runs straight through.

Should not be a problem, but you should space your water out, and not try to do it all at once if it bothers you.

I had asked my Doctor if it was possible to drink to much water....she told me only if I drank more then 5 gals aday !!!

So Im safe.....and I agree with CHEz....just space it out more if its hurting your bellie

Water or any liquid will not stretch your pouch...that's why liquid calories are something to stear clear of

If you drink too much too fast, it will not pass through your band fast enough.....

It happens to me all the time when I am working out.....there is a sharp pain, possibly stretching the pouch momentarily, but the water comes right up and I spit it out. ( I always have small towel handy, usually to wipe sweat from my eyes)

Think of a funnel.....if you pour water slowly it will pass through easily.....

If you pour too much too fast it will over flow...not giving it time to pass......

I don't think it is in the pouch long enough to stretch it, but it des come right back up.

And NEVER have food sitting there.....that can stretch the pouch for sure. But it will probably come right back up....

When I used to get stuck in those early learning days.....sipping water will get me unstuck by having it come up.

Also, a lot depends on how tight your band is.....mine is very tight and I have to sip everything, all the time.....

BTW, right after my workout, I drink 32 oz of water withinn 30 minutes while sitting in the sauna or steam room......one sip at a time.

Thank you for the replies...I know it seems silly but I've worried for a while about the really full feeling after drinking a full glass of water....i dont have trouble with swallowing or keeping it down....just concerned if over 6 ounces could stretch it.....thx!

I had this same problem and asked the same question when I was first banded. I love water and I'd drink it too fast. B52's funnel explanation makes a lot of sense.

I'm just glad we don't have to fight to get our water limit down.

yes...ive always loved water, never into sodas. I also love the liquid flavor drops added to water....the sweet tea drops are really good

Keep in mind, everyone's funnel is different.....it is adjustable......
