I can take some pretty big gulps, probably at least 4-5 ounces at a time.

Im almost 4 months out and can take decent sized drinks now and I am thirsty all the time and drink constantly. I feel like I am one who will never even get to gulp let alone chug it hurts way too much. It even hurts if I take too many drinks too close together. So I just keep drinking away little by little

Mexico I am in the same boat with you. I can get more than a mouth full down but it is not satisfying and I am always thirsty. I have started drinking more green tea and that seems to help some. I never chugged it before and don't feel like I am missing out I suppose. I still am hopeful that when summer hits I will be able to slam down a bottle of cold water!

This is one of my biggest fears about the surgery, I drink almost a gallon of Water a day and I hate to give that up.

You will not give it up you will only have to find a way to do it differently. At first you will not be able to drink that much because of the swelling but soon after your surgery you will be able to drink your gallon. The hardest part for me was to stop drinking with my meals.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
