Hello everyone! I am scheduled to be sleeved on October 11th. I plan on getting in to a normal work our routine at least 5 days per week. When I've worked out before, I've done the interval training and really push myself with the cardio. My question is....When I am done with my workout I cannot drink enough water fast enough. How is this going to work after the sleeve? Is sipping going to "cut" it?

Tamboo, I have the same problem. I am very thirsty after working out. I have found that drinking WHILE you're working out helps. Try to take sips as you're walking/biking/ellipticaling (lol?). sometimes I have to stop for just a few seconds to take a couple of sips, then I get back at it asap to keep the heart rate up.

I was worried about this too. I love to go for a big hike in the sun and the n guzzel down some cold water. I couldn't do it till around month 3 but I can handle about 4 big guzzels now. Its enough so that I get that great quenching feeling after exercise, but probably not enough to rehydrate me. I try to be very hydrated before working out and take sips throughout. I can usually get a good size bottle in me in the 30 mins after my workout.

I was the same. Small sips to start with and always felt thirsty, but now I can take quite big mouthfuls, so feel much more quenched than before.

We're all different. I was getting in 64 oz on day 5 post-op. I could guzzle Water pretty early on. I exercise 1-2 hours, 7 days a week and have no problem getting in my water. I keep a water bottle on the eliptical, treadmill or other equipment, and just drink as needed. I always have water with me on a hike.

I bet you'll do just fine.

You'll have to see what works for you, but I find it really seems to help to keep well hydrated at all times and will try to drink quite a bit right before exercise (when I'm teaching aerobic class I try not to stop for sips, so this is necessary). I still have trouble, at a year out, guzzling. I can usually sip a water bottle pretty fast, but not the guzzle I used to do.
