Don't be scared. Keep sipping and just slow down a bit if you start to feel painful or nauseated. You can't really hurt your stomach with liquids, as they go through the pyloric valve and don't really stay in your stomach. Some people have a lot of inflammation in the stomach tissues after surgery, so that may cause you a bit of pain, which would be your signal to back off for a while.

That's on the slow side, but it's OK if your sleeve is telling you to sip carefully. The rule of thumb on the first day of water is 1 fl oz every 15 minutes, so a cup every 2 hours (250 mL). You'll probably start to approach this pace very quickly.

I don't think you can over sip. If you are sipping too fast or too much, you will definitely feel it. Just sip as much as you can, as often as you can. Listen to you body.

I WISH I had sipped more in the hospital, just to get used to it. I was on IV fluids, so I knew I couldn't get dehydrated. Then when I was discharged, I was definitely not prepared to sip as much as I needed to get my fluids in.
