How fast do you drink your liquids?



Recommended Posts

If you are able, without it hurting, to drink fast, is it okay to do so? I find myself gulping and it doesn't hurt but I was wondering if there was another reason for not drinking fast?

Thanks!

Fast and drinking are two words that simply do not go together for me. Like oil and vinegar - no can mix.

I am amazed that you can. I have to go slow or I start burping non-stop and I feel nauseous. All I have heard is to drink slowly to avoid gulping air as it causes gas pain. I would imagine drinking too fast would cause the opening from your pouch to your intestine to become bigger. Not a good thing or your meals will move through too fast but I am not sure.

I can not drink fast at all. Especially during or after exercise, it hurts. If it didn't hurt I would be certainly going it!

Drinking fast hurts like heck for me. I thought something was wrong. So it's sip, sip and sip. It's good to no that others are like me! I thought I was having a bad complication.

I think I drink faster than I should, I'm almost 2 weeks post op and I feel like liquids run right through me. But the minute I have some yogurt or something a little more dense, I get full faster. I can take like 3 good size sips of my Water and be fine but sometimes that 4th one will fill me up. I've totally forgotten about my surgery already and poured a small glass of milk (like maybe 4-5 sips) and chugged the whole thing and was in a little pain for drinking so much so fast but it passed within about 1-2 minutes and I was fine

I don't think we're the only ones who can have a huge sip though! My cousin could after her surgery ????

I have to take such small sips that I work all day on my Protein Drinks and still struggle! I have to take my medicine cups of Vitamins in three separate sips. I constantly feel full like I can't possibly take one more sip yet I have to force myself.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
