What is considered a sip?

[jennlhp 39]

What is a sip? Not to sure I know how to sip anything? I'm still pre op but I'm trying to prepare mentally on all the new ways to eat/drink. How much is too much in a sip?

your stomach will tell you. At first try teeeeenie sips constantly, but in my casr (two weeks out) I can take a fairly normal swallow with no pain. Don't plan on chugging anytime soon, and avoid carbonation!

I can swallow a normal sip, not a gulp, without any problems now 2.5 weeks out. I just can only take a sip every 7-10 minutes depending on what I am drinking or else I feel full.

a table spoon. I practiced sipping by measuring 1/4 cup of Water and taking FOUR sips from it.. that makes each sip a tablespoon...

Turns out I didn't need all the practice though.. My sleeve had no problem handling regular size swallows of Fluid right from the beginning... I never really had to do the small "sips" nor did I have to space out my fluids because it just ran right through my sleeve as fast as I'd drink it! I'm three months out and I just got back from working out and chugged half a 16 ounce water.. waited about two minutes and chugged the other half.... My sleeve is very good to me!
