Drinking fluids?

Hi everyone, not banded yet. :) I have noticed everyone mentions sipping fluids. I love drinking water, love the feel of gulping it down, will this be history after banding? Will I have to sip for ever?

Just wondering

    I can still drink a glass straight down, but I don't really gulp it...seems like that would mean you'd get a lot of air, too. I don't have to just sip, though...that was one of my big worries. I'm susceptible to urinary tract infections and have always had to drink a lot of Water...I was afraid that if I had to just sip I wouldn't be able to get enough in. But I haven't had any problems and drink about 3 quarts a day.

    phew! Thanks Emily! I was worried too about getting enough fluids. I guess gulping was too strong a word, drinking a glass straight down sounds more like what I do, too.

    thanks again
