You might always need to drink a smidge slower than preop, but now at 4 months postop, I can drink about 6- 8 ounces in less than a minute. Not quite chugging, but not sipping either.

Hello, I am new here, Just joined, post-op 11 days now and I am curious...Will there ever come a day where I will not have to just sip my drink? Or is this a forever thing?

It is not a forever thing at all.

I drink normally at 2 years. I can guzzle with the best of them.

I was drinking normally at year 1 also. Just less than I am now.

At 6 months I could take normal size drinks, just not as much capacity.

Of course there will be. Just be patient. Everyone will be able to at different times. I was able to almost a month post op, some people took longer more like 6 months post op, but you'll get there. Just try really hard to always avoid eating and drinking at the same time. For me that can still be painful at times.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
