How much do you drink in in a sip?



Recommended Posts

Im supposed to get as much fluids (mostly water) down as possible. But the doc said not to guzzle it down. How much is too much in a single gulp? I feel like this is taking forever.

I was told small sips about 1 to 2 oz every 10 to 15 mins. in the first few days. It does take a while, that's why you have this first week of recovery time.

Your focus should be on healing and following the Dr's instructions. you'll gradually feel stronger and better and able to drink more naturally.

Right now they want you to sip slowly, so your band/stomach can start to heal.

Hi Justin, wow you have had a doozy of a day haven't you. I would take 2 gulps at a time and let it go through the band. How are you feeling? Any better?
