vsginkc 117 Posted September 3, 2013 Hey NYorker! I can drink (i.e., gulp) just like before surgery. I try not to do it just as a matter of principle (seems like something I just "shouldn't" do). But there is nothing about this surgery that changed drinking fluids for me... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ms.AntiBand 2,984 Posted September 3, 2013 I never did drink differently from before surgery. Of course, I can't drink more than 8 oz at a time Hugh.l but when I walk/ride my bike I drink like a horse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
