Sipping water?



Recommended Posts

So I started this 1200 cal per day food plan that Kaiser put me on. No problems there as I made really good choices with the food.< /p>

My problem is SIPPING Water. I am fortunate in that I love Water, always have. Drinking 500ml in one chug seems normal.

Anyone else struggle with just sipping water?

yep, big gulper here. I now have 4 fills. I can drink only say 1/2 gulp and it hurts. Love my restriction but hate that I can't gulp......

i am a gulper...started off sipping, but now at 3 weeks i can drink 250ml in 1 swallow, then i wait a few minutes and try to sip the rest...i dunno if i am hurting anything or not?????????????i can feel the cold go down to the bottom part of my stomach so i am guessing that i don't have any real restriction when it comes to water...but after i get a fill that may all change

I'm a gulper too...I love to guzzle my Water or unsweet tea down.. i've only had one fill, and about due for another one, so i can still gulp and guzzle right now. I'm also a nurse on a busy floor, so i have to chug down water when i can because i might only get one chance that day...

I dread it when i'm restricted enough that i have to sip....i mean, good restriction will be great, but i will miss my gulping..

Good luck!!!

Honestly this is my biggest concern about the surgery. I can handle the pre-op diet, and I can handle the pain, the liquids, everything. But not being able to drink as much Water as I want at one time is going to be hard. Yesterday I was shopping and I told my friend that I could literally stick my head in a pool of water and drink my way out. Then I went and got a big unsweetened tea (a Rt. 44 at Sonic) and I drank it down in no time. It was soooo good. I guess like everything else, I'll adjust.

I am a huge gulper too. I had my surgery on Tuesday 11-11-08. Today I was able to sip my way through 50 ounces of Water. It took all day, and I'm so full. HA! Who would have thought I would be soooooo stuffed from water. I love it!

What I have learned from this experience is that everyone is so different. I was also worried pre-op about the amount I would be able to drink. I am now 7 wks. post-op, have had a fill (with restriction) and can drink "normal".

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
