Ok, does anyone know if drinking an excess amount of water? I have seen both arguments for and against this hypothesis. I honestly am not able to find some accurate information on it. I have between 100-125 oz a day. I am not classifying this as an excessive amount, but want to know how much you would have to drink before running into potential stretch scenarios. I can drink 32 oz in under 5 minutes, no issue. I am about 4 months out.

Sorry, some of my message got cut off. My question Does anyone know if drinking an excess amount of water leads to stretching the sleeve?

Great Question! I hope some one has the answer. I to drink a lot and fast with no issues. I sure hope it doesn't stretch the tummy.

Unless you are force drinking and gulping hugely- I don't think it's possible as liquid (liquids - not smoothies) passes thru the pyloric valve immediately.

I have been told water can not strech your sleeve. But I would talk to your doctor about how much is too much, you can dilute the minerals in your body by drinking too much and since you can eat as much you could pre op your not replinishing those minerals as fast.

WooHoo

now back to business.....

per my NUT....and the many many many responses i've read - "most" people agree that its virtually impossible to stretch your sleeve

first few weeks despite what NUT told me - i was frequently concerned that if i even looked the wrong way i would stretch my sleeve

way back when, had to sometimes push myself to get in the proper 64 oz

drinking more than 100 oz of Water daily, sounds great, but then again.....................

per Squisha - "diluting minerals"? by drinking too much???? not sure about that -but its worth asking the question to the doc

good luck

keep up your great job

My doctor said you can't stretch it by drinking too much water

first few weeks despite what NUT told me - i was frequently concerned that if i even looked the wrong way i would stretch my sleeve

HAHA! This sounds exactly like what I would be thinking!
