Drink to prevent dehydration



Recommended Posts

Hi experts-

Here is my question - how fast can you drink Water? I was out for a motorcycle ride, and it sure is nice. I am sweating up a storm. I stop frequently for a drink to stay hydrated. How will this work after sleeve? I realize that there is no gulping, guzzling, chugging, but how long to drink a 12 oz Water? Can I drink faster that I can loose it? I sweat lots on the bike, and it is not really ideal to drink while riding. Some do use camelback bladders, but with a no straw rule I don't know that I can do that either. I do long rides, and don't know that I can afford to take 30 min stops every hour.

How long does it take to "sip" an entire bottle of water once you are a healed up sleeve back in your normal life?

For long rides, go with the camelbak. Straws draw in air with every sip. Camelbaks do not. The whole gulping thing will subside with time. You may not fit as much at one chug as before, but liquids pass thru pretty fast so you can take chugs often and stay hydrated. I do however, take an insulated Water bottle EVERYWHERE with me. ;)

Thanks, that's what I wanted to hear. I just do yard work, or get in and out of a hot car, and sweat like crazy. Presently it is pretty easy to keep up with that loss. After I just need to be aware of it and plan to always have a liquid with me.

OMG for me its a struggle, it takes me about an hr to drink 12 oz of gatorade g2, shakes, juice or crystal light. Im soooooooo full from drinking too :( and if its Water which i hate drinking it takes me even longer to drink 1-2 hrs to drink 12 oz.

I can drink 84+ oz of Water in a day after my sleeve. I drink until I feel my tummy get full/tight and then I stop for 10-15 mins or so then have at it again.

A lot of people are different. Some have a lot of trouble getting fluids down, especially at first, and some don't. I believe that after 6 months most of the issues subside for most people, but you could be one of the unlucky ones.

I started using a straw again after 3 months. No trouble with it and I don't have air issues with a straw.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
