its great that you want to and can drink a lot of water with no immediate problems - but per your post - don't take big sips cuz your tummy then hurts

talk to your NUT/Dr. - see when they officially say its ok to drink quicker/gulp whatever - don't hurry though - no rush - Dr/NUT will probably tell you to slow down, take it easy - just listen to them

good luck

I was exactly the same way. Best thing I found was one of those ice shavers or snocone makers. I can sit and eat a huge bowl of shaved ice like it was ice cream... water itself makes me instantly sick but the ice is so cold and refreshing

It is really hard to strectch your new tummy. You have to overfill it constantly for months and really work at abusing it.

Have you tried popsicals? They really helped my thirst. Breyers makes the best SF and low carb ones.

sip, sip, sip, often...

Have you ever had problems with diabetes? When my mums blood sugar is really high she gets really crazy for cold cold water!

Anyway! Hey I must have missed some of your recent posts but it sounds like you've been sleeved!!! So excited for you!!!

kathy thanks but i take it slow. when i take in to much youre right the tummy hurts. so i am forced to take it slow

rainy i perfer the Water

doxie that was my concern i dont want to drink to much and stretch my stomach. i dont want that

cookie yes i am sleeved

today is going well i start full liquids today. no more Isopure yayyyyyyy. Breakfast i had strained cream of wheat with non fat lactaid.

Wow your doctor considers cream of wheat a liquid? So interesting how each doctor is so different. I'm not being snarky, or trying to sound rude at all, I am just surprised!!

well its mixed with lactaid and ran through a strainer so i get only the liquid part

Oh ok! I guess I missed that part. Might help to read a little better on my part!

Robyn

robyn i didnt add that part. lol. but yea its strained

Gosh I WISH I wanted to drink. I fight with myself all darn day to drink. I don't move on to full liquids until I can get in 64 ounces. All clear right now.
