hi- i'm not sleeved yet, but one thing has me very curious. sometimes ill go for a walk around the neighborhood w/ the kids and that makes me super thirsty, so i glugglugglugglug Water as i'm walking and once ig et home. how will that change after surgery? I know you can't glug, and I have a hard time imagining sipping during those super hot walks. how do you do it!?

course. I'm kinda dehydrated now, probably always, so when i do finally exert myself, my body says liquid PLEASE!

You drink more throughout the day and during your workout, so you don't let yourself get crazy thirsty in the first place.

Also, trust me, you'll be sweating an awful lot less once you are not hauling an entire extra person on you 24/7.

I drank during my power walks after surgery. Around the end of the building 3 times a day, then around the big end of the building 3 times a day! LOL at me.

I can manage to get a drink on any cardio machine: elliptical, treadmill or bike. I try not to glug when I'm working out because it makes my tummy hurt. But, you will be able to drink more than a sip fairly quickly after surgery. We all suggest sipping because you don't want to overfill your new sleeve and make it hurt, especially early post-op!

Amen to that, BBJ! It is much easier to hyrdrate my 250 pound body versus my old 350 pound body!!
