Water question...



Recommended Posts

Hi~

I had my 2nd fill yesterday 4.15cc total in a 10cc band. I was curious about the whole Water thing...are you supposed to sip when properly filled? I can still chug it down :tongue:, with no issues at all! I was just curious if when your filled if it is harder to do that.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, it is harder to chug when you have restriction. I just got my 3rd fill today and there is absolutely no way I could chug right now. I know I have some swelling from the fill but this is a lot different than my first 2 fills.

hi, I have had four fills (6.5ccs in a 10cc band) It wasn't until this fourth fill that I felt I couldn't chug and I still don't have to sip like they told me I would. You are okay! You just don't have full restriction yet.

I was glad to read the responses to your Water question. I am 6 days post surgery and have NO problem drinking liquids at a normal rate. I was worried that something may be wrong. Thank you!

i cannot chug immediately after fills, but give me a couple of weeks and i'm chugging again (of course not as much as i could pre fill).

my doc says when we have proper restriction we should have to sip like hot coffee. well..i had to after my last fill, and i pb'd a lot because i could not make myself sip. i was thirsty and as soon as the liquid hit my mouth my body screamed DRINK!! so i did ice chips for a little bit and it helped. i hate having to sip, but i'm trying to get to the point where i have to.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
