As vets, how many of you do this? Is it frowned upon? I guzzle water quite well and can blast through 32 oz in under a few minutes. It occurred to me maybe this is not something I want to be good at, but it makes it very easy to drink and drink all day long, like a race horse.

I am only two weeks post op and they told me sips but I can and I do take several swallows of water at a time with no problem. I am damn thirsty! Is it possible to stretch your sleeve? If so, gingerly drink... no race horse chugging.

By "vets", I mean post 1 year and later. The post op newbies should definitely drink according to advice from wls team. Usually this starts out as sipping until the sleeve allows a better velocity. After 1 year, everyone should not have water restriction that they had 1st few months. I know that I have to drink more than average because of high intensity workouts, high protein consumption and use of supplementation. Need to keep system clean. I also have a desire to drink water often because of thirst and water is very satisfying. So my questions remains: is it a good thing to chug? Is it a bad thing? Does it matter?

alrighty then

alrighty then

I don’t chug but then again I don’t drink Water never have, weekly I don’t even drink a glass of it plan on its own.
I used to like water but water wasn’t my friend after the op and its kinda still not my friend so just water nope.
Do I chug any drinks? Nope if I go too fast I puke it all up so for me no chugging.

I can and do drink normally now. Just all of a sudden I could. I don't remember when that was, I'm not sure how far out, a year, maybe longer.

Yes, I realized this after posting it. Do not know how to move it though. Maybe a host can help me out with that.

For now I am going to consider it an asset rather than a liability to be able to drink a lot of water daily.
