Chugging liquids

Yes I'm 5 weeks in and I drink but don't chug bc of the air - but just drink normal - you can use a straw - my doctor said its fine - carry a bottle w you- I'm a huge fan on crystal light peach iced tea of green tea peach mango - take your drink everywhere - you'd be surprised his much more you drink. Treat yourself to s fun tumbler !!

I felt the same way. Just a day or so after my surgery, I was sooo thirsty and only Water would do. I got to have shaved ice after my surgery which helped alot. I am now almost a year and a half post surgery and can chug water...but only water. Nothing else. I know this sounds weird but thats just the way it is. I am a size 8 down from a size 24. My drink of choice is water. I occasionally drink some OJ and some regular cranberry juice not cranberry cocktail, but thats it and in very small quantities. Hope it works out for you. Nothing like being real thirsty and quenching it with ice cold water. Good luck!

Drinking is easier when I am standing and walking. I get my morning Protein in while getting ready and emptying the dishwasher. I keep my Water on the counter so I drink as I pass, at 2 1/2 weeks out, I can take 2-3 normal drinks. Gravity helps alot!

6 months out and I can't chug, but I can tale a few pretty big gulps. It'll get better but you'll probably never chug again.
