So question time:

I know sip sip sip. I've found that my sips are getting increasingly close to a normal drink where it doesn't hurt or anything going down. Ifound this out on accident when I was partched first instink gulp swallow. Me waiting for terrible pain...nothing normalness. Is this normal??????

I can take 3 normal size drinks at drink #4 I feel the pain in my stomach. Only for a few seconds though.

I am 4 months out if that helps at all

I'm a little over 2 months out and I'm getting to where I can take some gulps. Sometimes, if I get a little crazy, it will hurt but just for a few seconds then I'm fine. Normal, I guess.

Weird I'm only ummm 3 weeks out. Hrmmm maybe I'm just lucky?

I'm 7 days out and I can pretty much take normal drinks. I'm averaging 5+ bottled waters a day. Not counting my jello, popsicles, and broth,

That's where I am, too. I was so cautious for the first couple of weeks, just taking tiny sips. I accidentally took bigger swallows a few times and realized I could handle more without the pain now. As of yesterday, I've realized I can take about 3 normal sized drinks. If I do get a little too much, it does hurt for just a sec as it kind of squeezes by, but it's not horrible. This has made it so much easier to get all my fluids in. I'm very happy!
