I can take some pretty big gulps, probably at least 4-5 ounces at a time.

Im almost 4 months out and can take decent sized drinks now and I am thirsty all the time and drink constantly. I feel like I am one who will never even get to gulp let alone chug it hurts way too much. It even hurts if I take too many drinks too close together. So I just keep drinking away little by little

Mexico I am in the same boat with you. I can get more than a mouth full down but it is not satisfying and I am always thirsty. I have started drinking more green tea and that seems to help some. I never chugged it before and don't feel like I am missing out I suppose. I still am hopeful that when summer hits I will be able to slam down a bottle of cold water!

This is one of my biggest fears about the surgery, I drink almost a gallon of Water a day and I hate to give that up.

You will not give it up you will only have to find a way to do it differently. At first you will not be able to drink that much because of the swelling but soon after your surgery you will be able to drink your gallon. The hardest part for me was to stop drinking with my meals.

      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.
