Absolutely not. Water passes through your stomach almost immediately. Many of us have never felt any restriction on liquids. I've actually drank a full liter of water in under 15minutes, and still can't get in more than 6-8oz of dense Protein

I was actually wondering about this topic going to work this morning. I'm glad to hear that I'm not doing something wrong since I've hadn't had any issues with getting my liquids in. Thanks!!

Good to know OTR, I was sleeved a week ago and thought there was something wrong with my sleeve since I got a 42 bougie lol . I literally had a nightmare about having a big sleeve woke up in tears. I could drink 20 oz with in minutes no restriction really ..

I have to jump on the bandwagon for this one too. Thank you. I also thought there was something wrong. I drink water, and non carbonated drinks like there is no tomorrow. Thank god I'm not screwing myself up!!!

Go to my profile blog under size of your stomach. There are a few videos in this post. One of them shows liquids passing through the sleeve.

Very cool...thanks for asking and everyone for responding.

I am so jealous! Drinking water has definitely stretched my stomach. I have to wait an hour to an hour and a half after eating to start drinking or my stomach blows up like a watermelon. Sounds like one too! Dr said its slow digestion probably caused from scar tissue. Definitely makes it harder to get in that 64!!
