I wanna guzzle down a bottle of water!

Over a year out and I can guzzle liquid like a sailer.

That's what Mr. Ven said!

I have been able to chug since maybe 5 months out? Look up "water loading" -- it is actually a bariatric technique for dealing with hunger.

What is the reason you can't guzzle liquid after surgery? I'm just wondering. I have my consultation coming up on jan 15th. I'm learning so much from all of you!

It can cause bad chest pain ur stomach starts b4 u think it do close 2 ur chest so if u drink or eat 2 much it can cause pain and discomfort

It's comforting to hear from those further out that can now drink to their satisfaction and guzzle if they want to. I'm 7 weeks tomorrow and its getting tons better already.

Your stomach is swollen for a few weeks, then it's pretty tight so swallowing big gulps just isn't possible without discomfort or overfilling it too quickly.

I am 8 months out and am back to being able to drink pretty much as before - but I don't cos I am now in the habit of taking mouthfuls then letting it go down. But it's nice to have a big drink now and then :-)

It may be that the urge to guzzle is a sign of being thirsty. I loved to guzzle Water, especially after exercise or work in the sun. Now I just have to drink down 4mini- gulps wait 'till the tightness stops in my stomach and then mini- guzzle, wait....until I get enough water. Now I do my best to be 'up to date ' on the drinking thing. ; )

I joined this site just now so I can add my voice to this topic. I was sleeved on Dec. 4, 2013 and I am dying for a good guzzle of Water. I LOVE Water and milk, and to not be able to drink it as I used to...! That is my one frustration.

22 pounds down; tomorrow makes 4 weeks. I guess that's good. But yes...sipping water is not the same as Chug-a-lugging lots of water.

You/We shouldn't drink lots of anything not only because of the discomfort, but you don't want to stretch your remaining stomach pouch.

But I know I'm dehydrated some because I'm not sipping all day. I want to drink! Oh well...I'll have to adjust.
