      I never had an issue after about a week out. I guzzle my water bottle as I did prior to my sleeve... But I can only eat a small amt of solids. So perfect I LOVE MY SLEEVE!

      I'm almost 6 weeks out and I can drink about 2/3 of a cup of water at a go... My sleeve empties of water pretty quickly so I just have to wait a few minutes before I can continue gulping more water. A

      Me too!! Also, if you're really thirsty and want to chug but know you can't, swish the water around in your mouth first! That really helps! I still do that if I'm super thirsty and just took a few

    I've been able to guzzle since I was in the hospital. So strange how everyone is so different!

    I am still a sipper! Big drinks still cause me pain. However, I am breaking the rules and using a straw...it helps me get down more fluids, which I still struggle with. Everybody is different. Best of luck to you.

    I guess, I will never chug a diet coke or bud light again...my new reality...

    So about two days ago I was working and mindlessly drank too much. Not quite a chug but about 4-5 drinks, not gulps, in succession.

    It literally felt like I got kicked in the gut by a donkey right sbove my belly button. I did not barf, but it was real sore like "do I call the doc and go to the ER" sore. But I waited it out. It also gave me gas like crazy bad huge farts. I would have preferred to barf over that pain.

    I have taken it slowly since then and backed myself to Protein Shakes and softies. The area still gets a bit sore. I think I put a good strech on that little pocket above the pylorus or caused a ginormous spasm, I don't know what, just guessing. I can eat solids, drink fine, no fever or tach so I know its just my body being mad at me for being stupid and careless.

    In any case, I thought I would share that you don't always barf if you overdo it.
