What is your signal to stop sipping?

Day 4 post VSG and sipping is going well. Tolerating water, protein shakes, jello, vitamin water zero. I am getting my recommended oz goal. My question is this...I find that after constantly sipping for a period of time I get a sharp pain in my sternum area , kind of like a gas pain. Is that my pouch telling me to take a break? What is your signal?

    when i get that pain, its usualy because i took too BIG of a sip or gulped it. slow yourself down... good luck!

    Thanks for the tips. Will slow it down and take smaller sips today. Also going to stay away from straight water to see if that makes a difference. I love Mio and have it in all flavors. vitamin waterzero is also great and you get the little nutritional vitamin benefit.
