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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
