running_scared 125 Posted April 25, 2012 I know I am supposed to sip slowly at my Water. I've been able to take larger drinks easily for the last couple days. Well, I think I've drank too much now. My tummy feels really full, and I can feel the Water moving around. Anyone know how long this will last? I promise to slow down next time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cocoabean 430 Posted April 25, 2012 It will not last long, unless you've just eaten. liquids go through pretty quickly unless your band is VERY tight to closed off. Think of a funnel. If you've just eaten, chugging a liquid is likely to cause nausea and vomiting, at least for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
running_scared 125 Posted April 25, 2012 I was eating Tomato Soup right before. It was a little salty, which made me thirsty. My stomach is feeling a little better now, but I feel a little like a bonehead; I should have known better. I wasn't chugging it though, just drinking quicker than I should.

Cocoabean 430 Posted April 26, 2012 If I had a nickel for every time I've said "I should have known better!"..... Even after 4+ years I still make mistakes. But I'll bet you won't do -that- mistake again soon! Glad you are feeling better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes after I eat I'm feeling so thirsty that I try to drink a bit of Water.... and whoops! I have to wait at least 20-30 min before safely having a bit a Water if I don't want to get sick.. My challenge is drinking enough water/liquids throughout the day, but I've only been banded for 2 months, so I hope I still have yet to figure everything out.

My challenge is drinking enough water/liquids throughout the day, but I've only been banded for 2 months, so I hope I still have yet to figure everything out. There is a big learning curve, that is for sure. And for me, after every fill, there is more learning to do! After my first 3 fills I could sip with meals (my doctor was ok with it), but then it became an issue. To be honest, one way I get unstuck is to chug a few ounces of water. It will immediately start the launch sequence and bring up the water and the item that is stuck with no retching. I don't recommend it for everyone, as vomiting is never a good idea with a band. But to the OP, if you were having Soup before you drank the water, that is a liquid, so adding water on top of that should not cause any problems other than draining slowly if your band is tight. A bit of discomfort, yes, but no permanent damage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
