Is it silly for me to be scared about being able to drink my water like I am

Use to?? I drink tons of water.. I can drink a 16oz in one shot and sometimes I don't even realize that I am doing it. I am afraid I'm going to miss my water.

You'll still have it...

In fact, you'll need it more than ever!!

But it's unlikely that you'll be able to down 16oz at a time...

At nine months out, I usually go thru about 600 ml during my training session (1hr) each morning...

So you'll certainly still be able to drink it...

I hope that answers your query to some degree...

Starting out, you'll have to slow down on the water, as it may cause discomfort to drink so much at one time. However, the more you drink the better! It may just take a little time to build back up to previous levels once you are post op.

I feel your pain...I miss gulping down a cold glass of water! However, you still need to get it in so always carry around a water bottle and sip water throughout the day!

My friend at work was sleeved in June.. She's not much of a water drinker to begin with, but she does crunch ice all day.. Like alllll day... So I guess that's a good way of getting it in

I'm so glad I'm having VSG in the winter. I can't imagine trying to keep up with Water requirements in the summer on top of surgery.
