Too much liquids??

So... I'm now on my one week anniversary of my sleeve. I went back to work today and haven't had any pain or other problems. However, I suddenly noticed midday that I've drank about 32 Oz of liquids in the past 2.5 hours. I've been taking sips as I've been thirsty, but I think the increased movement and talking to people has made me more thirsty than I realized. I'm definitely not having any trouble getting liquids down anymore, and drinking 12 oz in an hour has nit madr me feel the leat bit uncomfortable. But everything I've read says I shouldn't be able to drink more than 8 Oz an hour. Am I in danger of stretching out my sleeve already if I don't slow down? I'm not chugging or anything, still taking small sips. But I find myself thirsty pretty much all the time so I sip about every 1 to 2 minutes. Where as at home doing nothing I was sipping every 5 minutes. Any thoughts?

Most people don't have trouble drinking. It sounds like you are doing great. You can't stretch anything drinking.

Thank you! That's what I was worried about!

Some people heal more slowly and are too swollen to take in much water.  You seem to be healed fine and be able to drink more water is a plus.

You're golden and most would say that you're lucky at this point to be able to drink so easily.  Keep it up - eventually you want to be downing 80-100 oz. of water a day.
