How do you drink liquids after having the sleeve - can you gulp eventually?

Thanks!

I'm three months out and I drink just like I did preop. No problem getting 100+ oz in a day other than the increased trips to the ladies room

I'm about 3 months out and I can drink more at one time than I could a month ago, I still do not gulp. It would make me sick. Why would you want to gulp anyway?

Thanks. Don't really need to gulp I am just curious about limitations.

Best,

I can gulp. I have never had any trouble with drinking or eating. i can gulp 5-6 swallows at a time. Earlier out i could gulp 3-4 at a time,but the 5th made me feel too full. Now 5-6 gulps feels ok.
Good luck,
holly

I am 3 months out. I can take a few sips at one time before needing to burp. I have tried to gulp and it makes me nauseous.

For me the initial 3 months I sipped from a 1oz shot glass ALL day...after 3 months I was easily getting in 64oz, about 4 I was back to getting in my 80+. I don't gulp like I used to but I can get in a good amount.

I'm 3.5 months out and I drink pretty normally now. If I've been working out and I'm really thirsty, I can definitely gulp.
