How fast do you drink?

I'm two years out now, and I can drink fairly fast...not big gulps, but a couple of good "swigs" at a time. Just wondering if it is detrimental to the pouch to drink water fast, rather than sipping, now that we are this far out. Don't want to stretch my pouch worse than it already may be, but don't know if it matters on fluids. I'm not terribly fond of water, but do want to get it in, and drinking it faster gets it overwith quicker Just wondering... Theresa

Hi Theresa, Wish I could help, but I'm still sipping. . I took my grandson to the Dr. yesterday. The scale was staring at me, and calling out my name....I couldn't resist and stepped on it. AAAAARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! NOTHING It stayed the same again. I E-mailed Annette, she looked at my foods on fitday.com. Told me to up my calories to 900, up my carbs to 100, up my protein to at least 90. add more fruit, avacados, olives and whole grain crackers. She also said to eat more often. Go figure, I have to eat more, I've always been told to eat less! I vented on you sorry, God bless, Love ya, Annette

Well, Annette knows her stuff, so I'm sure doing what she says will get you going in the right direction. I think I will email her too, to see if she can help me out too! Good luck! Theresa

That's a good idea Theresa. You could call her too. 313-916-3677. She does know her stuff, as does our whole medical team. God bless you, Annette

Guzzle guzzle guzzle. i can down a bottle of water like nobody's business. I do not see how it would cause harm or stretching though. I drink flavored water and buy it by the case. I get it slushy cold first as well. I have a tough time and that is the only way I can get it in. I also drink lots of SF Kool Aid and crystal light.
