Will the sips be forever or will I be able to chug some Water after a tough workout... On those hot days in the summer.. Will I have to sip forever?

no you won't have to sip forever. when I work out I can drink 32 oz of Water or more in a 2 hour time frame. I am 8 weeks post op and I used to have to sip, sip, sip. Now I don't have to sip...now granted I can't CHUG...and I know what you mean by chugging water. I miss doing that. It is almost like I don't have the same feeling of satisfaction as when I drink small amounts. but my sips are much larger now.

good to know. I know it probably sounds silly but I love chugging Water so I was kind of disappointed that this would be a thing to change. I was also wondering if I could stay hydrated enough during runs (I run/jog/walk 5 ks now but would like to run 13.1)

This is awesome!

Oh yes!! Ok well it's so hard to not just down it!! Hahaha I ran marathons as a fat girl or thick girl... I was just sleeved on Mar 13 and I fight the urge to not chug it haha I'm not working out yet but that will start back soon... Already down 23 lbs in 2 weeks... But no energy yet so I'm waiting patiently or maybe impatiently... Summer is coming and I intend on enjoying every minute of it!!! Already almost in 1-derland...

I am happy to say...I no longer have to sip, sip, sip. I hated that nonsense. Lol

I'm 10 weeks out, and since about week 6 or 7 is when I noticed I can take, what i consider to be a legitimate drink of Water.

Nothing else about this surgery has bothered me.

I was so stressed out about not being able to drink Water fast. But I'm just seconding everyone else - I can now drink much quicker, no more sipping everything!

This is the best news I have ever heard!!!! I can't wait for a bit more than a sip. A gulp at least.

I'm a Water chugger too and I'm happy to hear the sip sip sipping should be temporary.

You should be able to drink large amounts for sure after 5 months. I think even after 2 months, you can change from sip to gulp if you want to. It really depends on when your stomach is fully healed.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
