Can you chug down water?



Recommended Posts

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?

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.

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.

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.

I have been able to do it right along. I have had 2 fills and I will be getting my third next week.

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.

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.

I can drink Water fast with no problems at all. I have no restriction so this might explain the ability to do that.

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. ;)

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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
