Fiddleman 4,376 Posted November 9, 2012 Ok, does anyone know if drinking an excess amount of Water? I have seen both arguments for and against this hypothesis. I honestly am not able to find some accurate information on it. I have between 100-125 oz a day. I am not classifying this as an excessive amount, but want to know how much you would have to drink before running into potential stretch scenarios. I can drink 32 oz in under 5 minutes, no issue. I am about 4 months out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TamaraS 235 Posted November 9, 2012 Great Question! I hope some one has the answer. I to drink a lot and fast with no issues. I sure hope it doesn't stretch the tummy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaliKat 153 Posted November 9, 2012 Unless you are force drinking and gulping hugely- I don't think it's possible as liquid (liquids - not smoothies) passes thru the pyloric valve immediately. 2 ProudGrammy and Fiddleman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squisha 99 Posted November 9, 2012 I have been told Water can not strech your sleeve. But I would talk to your doctor about how much is too much, you can dilute the minerals in your body by drinking too much and since you can eat as much you could pre op your not replinishing those minerals as fast. 2 ProudGrammy and Fiddleman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted November 9, 2012 Fidlleman 110 lbs down 4 1/2 months you are doing amazing with your weight loss!!!!! WooHoo now back to business..... per my NUT....and the many many many responses i've read - "most" people agree that its virtually impossible to stretch your sleeve first few weeks despite what NUT told me - i was frequently concerned that if i even looked the wrong way i would stretch my sleeve way back when, had to sometimes push myself to get in the proper 64 oz drinking more than 100 oz of Water daily, sounds great, but then again..................... per Squisha - "diluting minerals"? by drinking too much???? not sure about that -but its worth asking the question to the doc good luck keep up your great job 2 Fiddleman and IsB reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
