Drinking Normally- Is It Possible?

[Amanda 3.0 140]

By "chug" I mean I can take several gulps of Water or clear drink at a time. I still drink other beverages, like my coffee mixed with Protein, or a glass of wine, very slowly. I drink water and Powerade Zero while on the elliptical trainer, to quench thirst, and so that goes down much faster.

on week 4 I was drinking 12 oz Protein Shakes in just a few mins

I can't. I have to sip the Water or I feel it get stuck in my throat. It is an awful feeling but I'm used to having to sip so I avoid it.

I am 6 weeks out and have been able to drink normally for nearly half that time. I don't even think about. I can't remember ever chugging prior to my surgery, but I have no problem picking up a water bottle and drink what I want. I always liked the 24oz Poland Spring Water with the sippy end, but hate that now. I prefer a regular screw off cap where I can control the flow of the water.

Am am 30 something days out and can chug. It gets easier. My doctor said something like no more that 4 oz an hour at first. RIIIIIGHT. I'd dehydrate.
