Question:
How fast is water absorbed?

I know everyone is different... but is there a general rule of thumb as to how fast your body processes water post-op? From the moment you sip it and get it in your pouch - how long till the water has passed out of your pouch and you can drink more?    — Valerie H. (posted on August 5, 2002)

The only limit on how quickly you can drink (after the first couple of weeks when your raw tummy is trying to heal) is your comfort level. If you are uncomfortable you should slow down. The more water you can drink the better off you will be.
