Tell me again why we must sip?

I have not had a fill yet and newly banded and I'm trying to get this sipping part down.....I'm finding it difficult to sip instead of drinking normal.

Thanks

Heather

You can drink normal if it doesn't cause any discomfort. Sounds like you're doing fine.

Hi Heather. The day after banding I accidentally starting drinking a bottle of water like I used to. Swallowing a few gulps before stopping. Well as soon as I did that, I was in the bathroom spitting up. I didn't get sick, just the water kept coming up. I have just maintained the one drink at a time rule throughout my post-op and it's working great. Somebody in another post here, mentioned that you have to think of your stomach as a clogged drain. If you clog it,, whatever you put in after is going to back up.
