So glad to have seen this thread as i thought there was something wrong with me! Since one week post op (I'm 2 weeks today) I really have been able to drink (slowly) without any problems. A 7oz Protein shake goes down now problem in about 30 minutes. Same with a small cup of coffee.
I am struggling to get Water in only because I constantly forget to drink it, so that is my main focus this week, getting and staying hydrated.
