diva 0 Posted June 16, 2006 I don't mean while eating. I mean when you are really thirsty and you take a bottle of Water and just chug it down. Can you still do that when you are banded? Ever? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryb 1 Posted June 16, 2006 I can't! I had trouble just drinking Water for the first 6 weeks. Now I can drink faster, but too fast makes me burp and hurt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tricia K. 0 Posted June 16, 2006 You bet! I do it every day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kimbo 0 Posted June 16, 2006 Until I had my last fill, I was able to glup down the Water, but now its little sips & it has made it super hard to get down the 100ozs I was doing daily, now I'm luck to get half that. Kim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CindyCam 1 Posted June 16, 2006 I can chug now but i havent had a fill yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paula 4 Posted June 16, 2006 Yes! But it took a while after my second fill for me to be able to do it. I guess I loosened up. ??? I chug Water all the time, as long as the water is room temp. If the water is ice cold - then I have to take it slower. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MiaHalliwell 4 Posted June 16, 2006 I have been able to do it right along. I have had 2 fills and I will be getting my third next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheetsin 714 Posted June 16, 2006 2 fills and I've been able to chug the entire time. I do take a little more time between actual swallows than I used to, and don't even try for the same volume, but haven't had any problems so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lianna 3 Posted June 16, 2006 I cant chugalug down an entire bottle in less than 5 minutes like before, but I can definitely drink an entire bottle in say 10-15 minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deniseb 0 Posted June 16, 2006 I can now at 2.5, but I couldn't until the unfill. Water would hurt before the unfill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elisabethsew 50 Posted June 16, 2006 I can drink Water fast with no problems at all. I have no restriction so this might explain the ability to do that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marimaru 7 Posted June 16, 2006 I can drink down a 24 oz bottle pretty quickly. The trick for me is to make sure I don't puff out my cheeks, I can swallow as much Water as my mouth can hold without my puffing out my cheeks full of water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gentlespirit 1 Posted June 17, 2006 I could until this last fill. Now I'm at 1.5 cc in a 4cc band and have noticed that I have to go a little slower. Emily Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
health1st 1 Posted June 17, 2006 I can chug all I want but only after about 2pm. Early AM I can drink a glass of Water in a few minutes but have to pause between several swallows. No fill yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
