Getting enough water...

When I went to my first post op appt my dr said that I was drinking too fast and/or too much at a time because I complained of excessive burping. He told me to sip, sip, sip. I am doing that now, but am having a hard time getting 64 oz in now.

How do you guys get all your water in?

Will people hate me if I say I don't have that problem.  I can chug water and have no problems and I have about 9.8 ccs in my band.  You can say it's a blessing but it's also a curse.  The same thing that lets me chug my water also lets me over eat sometimes.  I get an excess of 64 ozs of water.  I think I may have got close to 90 today. 

 Sue,

I only had to burp and sip when I was a little too tight.........since the unfill no more burping and I can guzzle water but  I am still not a fan of water unless I am working out LOL........

I had to sip at first and then it got easier.  However, I have had problems getting enough water in every day.  You have to sip almost all of the time except the first hour or two after eating.  I was told to wait too hours, but often don't wait that long.

Right now I am having to sip again because I am too tight.  I plan to get a little unfill next week to see if that will help.  It will allow me to eat more, but I will have to work on that.

But the burping does mean the water isn't going down.

Some people can guzzle and some can't.  I have not been able to do that since the surgery a year ago.

Congrats SueBee01 on being selected to win in the OH newsletter. I just read it. Oh and I am soooo tired of water. I have been trying all different sugar free flavorings for it! BTW in my experience burping happens some days more than others but it could also be from food.

Congrats SueBee !!
