I would guess No! Just from the way I feel when I take too big a drink! :-(

I don't

I chug it per say but 9 weeks out and it feels like I can... Way different from the little sips in the beginning! I hear its different for everyone though!

I'm just jealous because I'm so thirsty right now!

We had tilapia for dinner that we bought from the butcher pre seasoned and I think it was salty :P

So I'm dying from being full and thirsty :(

Moral of this story make you own fish lazy!

I can chug down about a cup of Water now if I'm really thirsty and I haven't eaten lately. Love slurping down a few gulps. But don't rush it - tender tummies take time to heal.

Oh yes the feeling of satisfaction that comes with chugging a big glass of cold Water, or iced tea. I miss that more than anything. I try to fool myself by getting a big mouth full and swallowing a little at a time, but it still not the same, I am SO excited to think there maybe hope!

Thanks for sharing your journey.

At a year and a half out I am able to chug Water again...although it is not as much as I used to, like drinking a whole 16 oz bottle down at one time. However I am able to take several gulps of water at a time on an empty stomach. :)

Im 8wks out and i chug Water fine. Almost 8onzes or more. The difference for me now is that i cant chug anything that is cold. It feels like its stuck in my throat so i cant do it. It hurts.

I wouldn't necessarily say you will be able to chug but you will be able to take a big enough drink to quench your thirst adequately. i wouldn't attempt it until at least 3 months out.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
