Less than 14 days post op - guzzling water like nothing

I think maybe it might be acid even though I dont have acid reflux or heartburn really feels like hungry though so I'm going to take something to try to neutralize the acid.

Most surgeons have their patients on an acid reducer post op for this very reason. You might want to ask them if you need to be on something regularly for a while. My surgeon puts us on something for at least the first 3 months, and as needed after that.

Im jealous! If I take a big gulp I have to keep half in my cheek and swallow in two parts. I feel a bit like a chipmunk. LOL

I've been avoiding drinking too much Water at one time not knowing if it's good for the new tummy or not and my NUT has only told me to try drinking more. Before surgery, that was the main liquid I drank - so I'll start drinking it like I used to again. thanks!

Question though, is it ok to drink the Protein liquids that quick too? It's so hard for me to drink the muscle milk slow and 3oz at a time, I enjoy the flavor and want to drink it while it's still real cold.
