Can anyone still gulp water?????



Recommended Posts

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.

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,

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

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.

Now that I have restriction I can gulp Water on an empty stomach. If I have eaten it will come straight back up.

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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
