How much do ya'll drink at a time?



Recommended Posts

I was just banded last week and was told to only sip and not drink too much. Was that just right after surgery? Can I drink normally now? We're at record high temps and no air conditioning and I'm dying. I want to down bottles of ice cold Water and am afraid. I'm also nursing my son still and need a LOT of water. What do I do? Right now every time I drink I get terrible gas pains in my shoulder. Help, help, help!

Drink!

Unless you ate.

Drinking isn't restricted.. I guzzle bottles of Water at a time (we've been having record heat too!)

liquids should be going through your band with no problem, as long as you haven't eaten in the past hour.

Hi Laura,

I'm not banded yet. I was just reading your signature and I was just wondering how the cc's disappear? Where does it go if it's in the band? Also, I didn't know we could drink Water without a problem. That makes me really happy since I get really thirsty!

Regards,

Alfie

      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.
