I just relized when I drink I am taking big gulps of water, does this mean anything is wrong? This might sound like a silly question, but I am very alarmed. THANKS:confused:

I have had one fill and very little at that, Doc said my band was pretty tight as it was. When it comes to eating I still stay with 3 to 4 oz and I am full.

Yes I can still get a pretty good gulp of water in but I have not been filled yet. I am trying to just take sips of water all day long. Check with your doctor if you're really concerned.

take care,

I could take maybe one maximum 2 gulps of water otherwise up it comes... Sorry about the graphic info!!:faint:

I can't gulp Water but I can gulp water if it has Crystal Lite or S/F Hawaiian Punch in it. Or Propel. But plain water makes me barf if I gulp it.

Weird, I know.

I have no problem gulping water. Just seems to go right through. Unless i have just eaten. Then it hurts if i do it.I am having a problem waiting an hour after i eat to drink. Donna

When I get my fills, that's what they have me do...gulp water. Want to make sure the liquids go down easily.

i'm a gulper... my last fill prohibits TOO much gulping (no more than 3-4 gulps per drink) but yeah, always have gulped ... i am at a good restriction now

i'm with wasa ... i cannot gulp (even drink) regular Water ... ew.

I had this same concern when i first got a fill. I can still gulp, it goes down fine.

I haven't had a fill yet as I was just banded on the 25th but I was surprised that after the first couple days I could still gulp water. The more viscosity my liquids have the slower I have to go but water just slides on through. I was pretty alarmed at first too because I thought 'oh great, so will everything else' but that hasn't been the case. Don't worry, I think it's pretty normal.

Now that I have restriction I can gulp water on an empty stomach. If I have eaten it will come straight back up.

I have had 2 fills and I still have NO PROBLEM gulping water. I actually tend to water load right before I eat so that I get my water in and also it seems to help the food go down easier if I drink a lot before not during of course. I heard that wetting your throat before you eat helps you not slime.
