La_madam 20 Posted December 22, 2005 I was never told to sip except for in the beginning right after surgery. I am a guzler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJChick 3 Posted December 22, 2005 In the beginning after surgery I sipped also, afraid of hurting myself. But now its chug a lug but gently ROFL !!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelliebelly 13 Posted December 22, 2005 I could chug a lug up until I got good restriction, now if I do it it causes a PB type thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iluvharleys 15 Posted December 22, 2005 I only sipped after surgery as well. I drink normal now, and if it doesn't bother you, no problem drinking how you want to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Firecallie 2 Posted December 22, 2005 I don't sip either...but I just got my fill yesterday and am waiting for restriction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lovecats85 2 Posted December 22, 2005 I think you sip right after surgey b/c you are swollen and stuff, but now I have 2 fills, a decent amount of restriction, and I gag if I try to chug most drinks, but I can chug Water like you couldn't imagine. I've never had any problems drinking alot of water at a time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cissy 0 Posted December 22, 2005 I sipped in the beginning, just because I couldn't take any gulps. Now I drink as normal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alexra 0 Posted December 22, 2005 I usually can gulp down Water, however on occasion if I drink too fast I'll get all slimy. I guess my stomach pouch when overfilled with water thinks I have something stuck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alexandra 55 Posted December 22, 2005 I generally don't have any problem with guzzling pretty fast, either. There were only a few short periods of high restriction where I had to sip (other than right after surgery). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
