If you are able, without it hurting, to drink fast, is it okay to do so? I find myself gulping and it doesn't hurt but I was wondering if there was another reason for not drinking fast?

Thanks!

Fast and drinking are two words that simply do not go together for me. Like oil and vinegar - no can mix.

I am amazed that you can. I have to go slow or I start burping non-stop and I feel nauseous. All I have heard is to drink slowly to avoid gulping air as it causes gas pain. I would imagine drinking too fast would cause the opening from your pouch to your intestine to become bigger. Not a good thing or your meals will move through too fast but I am not sure.

I can not drink fast at all. Especially during or after exercise, it hurts. If it didn't hurt I would be certainly going it!

Drinking fast hurts like heck for me. I thought something was wrong. So it's sip, sip and sip. It's good to no that others are like me! I thought I was having a bad complication.

I think I drink faster than I should, I'm almost 2 weeks post op and I feel like liquids run right through me. But the minute I have some yogurt or something a little more dense, I get full faster. I can take like 3 good size sips of my water and be fine but sometimes that 4th one will fill me up. I've totally forgotten about my surgery already and poured a small glass of milk (like maybe 4-5 sips) and chugged the whole thing and was in a little pain for drinking so much so fast but it passed within about 1-2 minutes and I was fine

I don't think we're the only ones who can have a huge sip though! My cousin could after her surgery ????

I have to take such small sips that I work all day on my protein drinks and still struggle! I have to take my medicine cups of vitamins in three separate sips. I constantly feel full like I can't possibly take one more sip yet I have to force myself.
