too much of me 0 Posted September 2, 2007 I just relized when I drink I am taking big gulps of Water, does this mean anything is wrong? This might sound like a silly question, but I am very alarmed. THANKS:confused: I have had one fill and very little at that, Doc said my band was pretty tight as it was. When it comes to eating I still stay with 3 to 4 oz and I am full.

mylapspirit 2 Posted September 2, 2007 Yes I can still get a pretty good gulp of Water in but I have not been filled yet. I am trying to just take sips of water all day long. Check with your doctor if you're really concerned. take care, shelli:ranger: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WASaBubbleButt 41 Posted September 3, 2007 I can't gulp Water but I can gulp Water if it has Crystal Lite or S/F Hawaiian Punch in it. Or Propel. But plain water makes me barf if I gulp it. Weird, I know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonHoll1 0 Posted September 3, 2007 I have no problem gulping Water. Just seems to go right through. Unless i have just eaten. Then it hurts if i do it.I am having a problem waiting an hour after i eat to drink. Donna Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kacee 3 Posted September 3, 2007 When I get my fills, that's what they have me do...gulp Water. Want to make sure the liquids go down easily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

voodookitty 0 Posted September 4, 2007 I haven't had a fill yet as I was just banded on the 25th but I was surprised that after the first couple days I could still gulp Water. The more viscosity my liquids have the slower I have to go but water just slides on through. I was pretty alarmed at first too because I thought 'oh great, so will everything else' but that hasn't been the case. Don't worry, I think it's pretty normal.

Kelliebelly 13 Posted September 4, 2007 Now that I have restriction I can gulp Water on an empty stomach. If I have eaten it will come straight back up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jfran 0 Posted September 10, 2007 I have had 2 fills and I still have NO PROBLEM gulping Water. I actually tend to water load right before I eat so that I get my water in and also it seems to help the food go down easier if I drink a lot before not during of course. I heard that wetting your throat before you eat helps you not slime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
