Drinking liquids

Hi all I am 1 week out of getting the sleeve and I wouldn't change a thing. I have a question if anyone can help. I know I'm supposed to do liquids like the little medicine cup in 15 minutes. The thing is I feel good and I'm able to drink one of those in one sip. Is that OK or should I go back to the 15 min rule?

I have the one ounce medicine cup, but I gulp mine once every 5-8 minutes. I was told to do it that way because I wasn't getting enough in by doing a little sip here and there. I think it is about how your body reacts. If you feel any discomfort, then I wouldn't suggest gulping a whole ounce at once for awhile. I actually don't gulp, but take two swallows rather quickly every 5-8 minutes. I never had trouble with dehydration doing it this way.

@@WL WARRIOR I have no discomfort what so ever. I actually snuck mashed potatoes 5 days out and no discomfort, pain, or vomit. I feel great. Thanks for the advice.

Gulps might have been the wrong word drinks I guess is more accurate. Thanks
