just curious....for those that are at their sweet spot or good restriction

how long does it take you to drink 16oz of Water

[Jodi11 0]

A long time...I have a hard time getting all of the Water that I need to drink in. I just sip all day in between meals. I would say at my sweet spot, it would take me about 40 minutes if I sat and drank constantly. Because i'm so busy it probably takes me all day.

I have recently had a complete un-fill because of being too full and having inflammation. My favorite part about it is that I can freely drink water.

i understand that, its hard for me to meet 64oz and i just got a fill on tuesday so im trying really hard to get it all in.

it took me 2hrs to drink my first bottle of Water and now im on my second. i dont want to drink too fast or too much. i think before i wasn't taking in enough with my sips so i have made the amount i take in a little larger per drink.

i just want an average of what others are doing, guess i should have created a poll

I can drink a glass of Water normally.

According to my NUT drinking between meals helps to keep you full but you will only feel this benefit if you drink a reasonable quantity in 1 go. Sipping constantly between meals does not have the same effect.

If you cannot drink a glass of Water in a couple of minutes without a problem then I would suspect that you are actually too tight.

I agree with Elcee! Its not normal for it to take that long. Even with good restriction you should do Clear Liquids normally. Now I can't take big gulps, but I drink 32 oz at least during my hour at the gym and thats drinking kinda slowly. Im at perfect restriction losing 10 lbs a months. Drinking Water should NEVER be a struggle!

I've got pretty good restriction--may need a tiny bit more to round it out, but am getting good results (losing 10+ pounds/month) and feeling nicely restricted most of the time.

I still can drink clear liquids quite freely. It was only with my last fill that I found that I have a limited capacity in terms of how much I can gulp at once---I can put away a liter of Fluid in no time---but I have to pause every 100-120 ccs or so (sorry--my Water bottle has metric markings!), wait a minute for some of the Water to move through, and then I can lather, rinse, and repeat.

So, I probably could get 16 oz. (roughly half a liter) down in about 20 minutes, very easily.

I think it is harder for those for whom drinking plenty of Fluid has not always been part of their regimen.

thank you all for responding...im a little on the fence on whether im too tight or not b/c i had a recent fill so im giving it a few days to see how the swelling does.

i was real cautious with my Water amount b/c i was told sip dont gulp so i was only taking small sips. i guess i should have asked about how much a normal sip really was. i did finish 16oz in an hour today with no probs so far.

thanks again everyone, the info was a big help

I just got a fill on Monday and I've BARELY been able to get down 32oz a day. I can eat solid food, but it seems like the Water pools up in my pouch, gurgles/bubbles around, then drains down. I've been trying to take small sips, but maybe I need a straw instead b/c it's hard to sip out of this giant mouthed water bottle.< /p>
