SerendipityHappens 1,594 Posted November 3, 2013 It depends on your comfort.. I can chug/gulp/guzzle Water if I want. I've been able to drink three gulps at a time since less than a week out.I never really went through the sip, sip, sip stage, though at first I did have to take it a bit slower... Now with a fully healed sleeve, I don't feel any different with liquids now than I did pre-sleeve.. with the exception of if I forget and take a drink after eating! THAT is not pleasant. but other than that for me I drink water however I want! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TJL 222 Posted November 3, 2013 Now that my sleeve is healed up I can drink Water however I want. Even drinking it fast is ok, I just can't drink a whole glass all at once, I don't think that there is enough room in there. LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Someguy1383837857 18 Posted November 3, 2013 Oddly enough I can gulp Water with no problems and I am 2 days out. I try to slow down and keep it to sips though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Momonanomo 534 Posted November 3, 2013 (edited) For me, some days Water is a bit uncomfortable, but most days are just as if i had never had surgery. I start slow to test it and then drink for whatever mood my sleeve is infor that day! Edited November 3, 2013 by Momonanomo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spunkyirishpunk 29 Posted November 3, 2013 Sip sip sip!!! Even when working out its best to sip the Water because otherwise you could get a stomach ache from chugging the water. Prior to surgery when I would run and I would guzzle down water I would get a terrible stomach ache or feel full which would slow my running. Small sips works best!

GreekGirl 20 Posted November 3, 2013 I like many of the others can drink totally normal. I was worried about the working out thing too and in no time could drink like normal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sydney Susan 333 Posted November 3, 2013 (edited) I can't drink big gulps of Water comfortably - it feels like it gets stuck in my oesophagus and has to trickle down into my tum. I eat ok I'm just over 6 months out and I'd assumed everyone was like this - so today is a big wake up call. Does anyone else still experience this months after being sleeved?
