Fiddleman 4,376 Posted February 19, 2014 As vets, how many of you do this? Is it frowned upon? I guzzle Water quite well and can blast through 32 oz in under a few minutes. It occurred to me maybe this is not something I want to be good at, but it makes it very easy to drink and drink all day long, like a race horse. 1 StratusPhr reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gohelpyourself 377 Posted February 19, 2014 I am only two weeks post op and they told me sips but I can and I do take several swallows of Water at a time with no problem. I am damn thirsty! Is it possible to stretch your sleeve? If so, gingerly drink... no race horse chugging. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiddleman 4,376 Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) By "vets", I mean post 1 year and later. The post op newbies should definitely drink according to advice from wls team. Usually this starts out as sipping until the sleeve allows a better velocity. After 1 year, everyone should not have Water restriction that they had 1st few months. I know that I have to drink more than average because of high intensity workouts, high Protein consumption and use of supplementation. Need to keep system clean. I also have a desire to drink water often because of thirst and water is very satisfying. So my questions remains: is it a good thing to chug? Is it a bad thing? Does it matter?

StratusPhr 127 Posted February 19, 2014 I can and do drink normally now. Just all of a sudden I could. I don't remember when that was, I'm not sure how far out, a year, maybe longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fiddleman 4,376 Posted February 20, 2014 Then you probably should of posted this in the "vets" forum Yes, I realized this after posting it. Do not know how to move it though. Maybe a host can help me out with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiddleman 4,376 Posted February 20, 2014 For now I am going to consider it an asset rather than a liability to be able to drink a lot of Water daily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
