fling0228 7 Posted March 12, 2016 I'm 3 weeks out and I can drink like normal. I could gulp big gulps if I wanted to. I haven't pushed myself but I also never feel full but I never go over the 4 ounces. Did anyone else have this problem?

liannatx 897 Posted March 13, 2016 It isn't really a problem, it means that you don't have much swelling left from surgery. I didn't have any problems drinking liquids from the 3rd day post-op onward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ssflbelle 829 Posted March 13, 2016 After the 3rd day I didn't have any problem drinking liquids either.My Water bottle has a pull up top and I usually squirt a big amount of Water in my mouth, but it takes me about 3 to 4 swallows so I don't gulp it. However I feel I could but don't as I never gulped water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samara1974 116 Posted March 14, 2016 I am the same way, I haven't had any problems drinking from the start. Solids I definitely can feel the restriction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
