Drinking bigger sips..

[sleevedmama226 0]

2 weeks post op and biggest issue is I'm so thirsty but can only take TINY sips or I gag!!! Will this change at all???

[mariamitani 405]

Yes! It took a while but yes you will be able to take bigger sips, I can take bigger sips but not as big as before . Once I chuged down Water on accident like 3 big ones and freaked out but was fine little discomfort but was fine. I dont chug because Im scared to stretch the pouch, Not sure if thats possible:)

I guess I'm lucky 9 days out and no problems drinking Water at all, I drank 16 oz in about 15 minutes with out a problem. Over all I have done very well for the past 3 days I exercised on an elliptical for 45 minutes per day. And I have no pain, no nausea, and have been able to eat my cream diet without any problem.

Great job Joe! I'm not doing anything but walking but feel good like u! Not had the first whim of nausea and other then a chatty tummy when I eat, all is good! Keep up the Good work!!

Yay!!

Same here lol' I'm only 6 days post op. I've never had issues with drinking. I was worried something was wrong with me because so many others are struggling. I also feel great I just done 30 mins on the treadmill!

I am about 4.5 months out and I can drink normally now.

I struggled drinking too, and I remember worrying that if I fell off a boat or a tube, I wouldn't be able to handle all of the Water going in my mouth.

Within a few months, I was able to drink normally. I am 19 months out, and I wouldn't have a problem falling off a boat (and I have done it and ended up drinking a bunch of lake water).

3 Weeks post op, if I drink too quickly, I get an odd pain in my neck, and have to sit a second to let it all go down. But if I take small drinks, I can "chug" sips all day long. My hardest issue right now is just waiting 30 minutes after eating to drink, ha.
