Can you chug down water?



Recommended Posts

I don't mean while eating. I mean when you are really thirsty and you take a bottle of Water and just chug it down.

Can you still do that when you are banded? Ever?

I can't! I had trouble just drinking Water for the first 6 weeks. Now I can drink faster, but too fast makes me burp and hurt.

Until I had my last fill, I was able to glup down the Water, but now its little sips & it has made it super hard to get down the 100ozs I was doing daily, now I'm luck to get half that.

Yes!

But it took a while after my second fill for me to be able to do it. I guess I loosened up. ???

I chug Water all the time, as long as the water is room temp. If the water is ice cold - then I have to take it slower.

I have been able to do it right along. I have had 2 fills and I will be getting my third next week.

2 fills and I've been able to chug the entire time. I do take a little more time between actual swallows than I used to, and don't even try for the same volume, but haven't had any problems so far.

I cant chugalug down an entire bottle in less than 5 minutes like before, but I can definitely drink an entire bottle in say 10-15 minutes.

I can drink Water fast with no problems at all. I have no restriction so this might explain the ability to do that.

I can drink down a 24 oz bottle pretty quickly. The trick for me is to make sure I don't puff out my cheeks, I can swallow as much Water as my mouth can hold without my puffing out my cheeks full of water. ;)

I can chug all I want but only after about 2pm. Early AM I can drink a glass of Water in a few minutes but have to pause between several swallows. No fill yet.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
