Any adverse effect to drinking water every 5 mins instead of 15?

Will it hurt your sleeve, or have any other adverse effect if I drink 1 oz of water every 5 minutes, instead of the (recommended) 15 minutes?

Thanks!

      I wouldn’t think so because I wasn’t even given a time guideline. Just told to take small sips frequently and now I drink pretty much normally at 8 months out.

      I did exactly this and now I have a wattle under my neck like a turkey. (Just kidding.) You'll be fine. I'm two months out and drink normally now.

    If you can tolerate it it’s fine. As long as you sip & have a break before the next one so you don’t strain your healing tummy.
