LipstickLady 25,682 Posted May 20, 2013 #hurtslikeamofo I woke up so thirsty that I thought I would treat myself to a glass of room temp Gatorade. It tasted so good that I took a huge gulp and KAPOW!!!! It hasn't come back up, but that would be a relief. You can hear it gurgling in there like a toilet that is backed up with a big old log trying to work it's way down. If I could just burp, I would be in much better shape. How many times is it going to take me to learn this lesson. Even my husband looked over from across the room when he heard me gurgling and asked what the H E DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS I just did to myself. Poor guy.

T'snewstart 251 Posted May 20, 2013 I feel you.... I still do that at 6 months post op..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LipstickLady 25,682 Posted May 20, 2013 EHHRMAGHERD.... It sucks that you still can't gulp that far out. I've always been a Water *****. After all the years of WWs, I learned to get 64 oz down in an hour or less. This is going to be a hard habit to break. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pottergirl 261 Posted May 20, 2013 I usually concentrate on specific amount of fluids at a time to get it over with. 16 or 32 oz at a time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LipstickLady 25,682 Posted May 20, 2013 I don't think I can do that. I am an overachiever so if I set a deadline, I am going to beat it by half. Not such a nice feeling. HA! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MIJourney 490 Posted May 20, 2013 I'm very happy that my sips have become much bigger now with no problem. Not quite a gulp but a far cry from the 1st few days:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aquitenonnymouse 206 Posted May 20, 2013 Yep, that took a while for me to re-learn that muscle memory for drinking the way I can now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
