Even pre op I've always just always been thirsty all of the time , I would chug some ice cold water and be okay . But now I can't even gulp never mind chug and its making me frustrated and crying ugh

It will get better. I drink pretty darn fast these days, 11 weeks out.

Hang in there! It does get better. I am 10 weeks out, and can chug over half a glass of water, then 5 minutes later I finish off the other half. Just make sure that you're constantly sipping whenever you're awake.

I am in the same boat that you are - It is good to see that we will be able to drink larger drinks of water in the not so distant future.

just keep drinking!

I had my surgery a month ago. I have always been a big water drinker. The chugging thing is a problem for me too. I never feel like a get enough water with this sipping thing. Another thing I find difficult is the not drinking while eating. My husband was always amazed at how many time I would get my water glassed filled up when we went out to eat. I too am glad to hear that I will be able to drink more with time.

Like the others have said with time you will be able to chug again. I am 7 months out and drink at least 120 oz a day, and more important to your question at times I do chug my water. Good Luck, enjoy the journey it's not always easy but it gets better as time goes by.

Thanks everyone ! Huge relief !
