[colleeb 5]

So I was banded Oct 29th the gas is slowly easing and there I times when Im so thirsty I want to chug my Water which Im not....however I am sipping and gradually taking bigger drinks. Will I be able chug water once all is healed or are those days over?

Yes you'll be able to chug Water. I asked the same thing of the nutritionist before I had surgery!

You might be able to but I find chugging leaves me feeling burpy I can take big sips without an trouble. It just depends on the person

I feel you!!! I was banded on the 25th of Oct. sipping was just not quenching my thirst but if I did more then sip it felt real bad, and just not worth it, but now 12 days out and I can take a regular drink, I still yearn to chug though. Hopefully in a couple weeks.

Just because you can ... doesn't mean you should the more fill you get the less this will be possible. I'm not being a smart a$$ but why do you need to chug... I mean my boys chugged when they came in from excercise ..but I don't get it?? I can tell you this it will hurt when you get filled and may come right back up think hour glass.

I drink all day long from the time I get up until I go to bed, I carry Water with me wherever I go, which for me is a huge change the only liquid I got before was diet pop.

Actually I'm in the greenzone and have decent restriction and have chugged a few times with no problems. Some people can, others won't be able to. I drink 2 litres plus a day of Water but some days when it gets really hot a good chug is the only thing that quenches my thirst.

That's So funny that You said that all you drank was diet pop! Same with me!! And quite surprisingly I don't miss it!!

I can to an extent. Sometimes though the out flow doesn't match with the in flow so I can get backed up, so I try not the really chug, but take bug swallows instead. The is especially true after a heavy workout.

It varies by person, but chugging can insert a lot of gas. Take bigger sips more often!
