Hello all,

I was wondering, When did you guys be able to chug down a bottle of Water or a glass or water.

Thanks a lot

I am 9 months post op, and since month 5 post op I can chug water down, a large glass or half a 1.5 l bottle in one go.

No problems whatsoever.

I'm a little over 4 months. Its amazing how far I've come as far as chuging down Water, but the truth is, if/when I chug, I'll end up with a belly ache and pressure in my esophagus. Gotta get that water in, but damn if you do and damn if you don't. I still find ice tea and/or coffee easy to drink.

I am 6 years out. It took about 2 years before I could CHUG.

I can chug about a half a glass..any more than this and the saliva faucet is turned on...which sucks!

How long ago did u have your sleeve done?

Can you drink carbonated beverages?

My sleeve was done March 2014. I can have a coke but only a couple small...and I mean small sips. ????

I'm one year out and I can chug anything as long as my stomach doesn't have food in it! I can also drink carbonated beverages without issues, but I definitely don't chug them

At one year I realized I could chug pretty well. It gets better every month. I am sure I will be able to chug 16 ounces without taking a breath again by the 2 year mark.

I don't drink carbonated beverages. I have had a couple sips a few times by accident, like not thinking about it or paying attention, but they were fountain which are not as strongly carbonated at can or bottle.

I don't think I have issue with carbonation, there just aren't carbonated drinks that interest me, I gave up sodas long before surgery.

A whole glass or whole bottle in one go? Never. Not unless I'm trying to induce vomiting.
