Hang in there! It does get better. I am 10 weeks out, and can chug over half a glass of Water, then 5 minutes later I finish off the other half. Just make sure that you're constantly sipping whenever you're awake.

I am in the same boat that you are - It is good to see that we will be able to drink larger drinks of Water in the not so distant future.

I had my surgery a month ago. I have always been a big Water drinker. The chugging thing is a problem for me too. I never feel like a get enough water with this sipping thing. Another thing I find difficult is the not drinking while eating. My husband was always amazed at how many time I would get my water glassed filled up when we went out to eat. I too am glad to hear that I will be able to drink more with time.

Like the others have said with time you will be able to chug again. I am 7 months out and drink at least 120 oz a day, and more important to your question at times I do chug my Water. Good Luck, enjoy the journey it's not always easy but it gets better as time goes by.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
