It IS possible to drink too much Water, but 52 oz a day should not over do it.

drinking will make you feel full and eventually you will p it out.

I've read that you should divide your weight by 2 and that's how many ounces of Water you should be drinking. So I'm 238 pounds so I should be drinking 119 ounces of water.

Just remember to SIP! I just recently realized that I still needed to do that so the Water will still flow out as it should.

<--drinking tons of Water here ... I was always a big Water drinker before being banded. I use to drink well over a gallon. I am up to about 64 ounces now. I do sometimes drink to I am full, I think because for some weird reason before being banded I like that 'full' water feeling, isn't that odd?

Anyway, I drink normally.. I am fully aware of not to 'guzzle' like a luniatic. Water will just stream through the band, however you have to be mindful when you have anything 'thicker' than water in you. Even yogurts or cottage cheese is considered thick and you would have to sip afterwards. I am still on liquidy mushy foods for another 2 weeks...

Ditto what Carolina said.

I drink approx 100-112 oz day. Makes a huge difference in how I feel. :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
