Hello Sleevers! How long did it take you to be able to get 8oz of water in, in 5 min? I love guzzling water, how long post op does it take to get back to what I would consider a normal way to drink (water)? Thanks!

I'm almost 6 months out now and I can do that when I really want to. Which is rare. But I can.

Sounds good ;) Thanks so much, this is one of my biggest scares. i love water, and hope to love it after as well. I want to be able to drink 8 oz fast and just kind of wanted to do a poll on how fast and if it returend to where you can drink 8oz in 5 min (again, normal to me). Thank you so much for your feedback! How about everyone else? how are you doing?

I seem to tolerate water better than most. Preop my biggest worry was drinking water post-op and hearing tha****er can't damage my sleeve, I pushed my intake so I could drink normally. I could do 8oz in under a minute about 7 days post op and have gulped that mount in seconds for the last 2 months. About 8oz is my limit to guzzle, I used to guzzle 30oz in 15 seconds, now it's about 8oz before my throat/stomach will give me a cramp.

That's spectacular, I am the same way, i will fill up a 32oz and guzzle and am a total water addict. Not being able to do that will be hard, but I am so glad you can atleast guzzle 8oz, that makes me Happy :) How about everyone else? Just trying to see what the majority of post ops are like. Thanks so much!!! Do you mind me asking how you were able to make that happen? Any advice, I would love to be able to do the same!
