I'm almost 8 weeks post op and can take small drinks. Sometimes I take a gulp and that doesn't feel great, but otherwise I've been taking small drinks since I was 5 weeks post op.

It gets better than sipping, but it definitely doesn't reach the level of chugging. I'm at 8 months postop, and I still might have some discomfort or pain on a really big gulp.

Also, once you regulate your diet and meals, it'll be easier to get liquid in at a regular interval, so you won't be feeling that desperate thirst.

Totally worth this small inconvenience!

I'm 5 days post op and I can drink normally. I can't take a big gulp or I'll get the discomfort but I'm not having any troubles drinking. I thought it was going to be a big deal and it's not. I'm afraid though that I might stretch my brand new sleeve. Is this possible? From drinking too much?
