    Hey NYorker! I can drink (i.e., gulp) just like before surgery. I try not to do it just as a matter of principle (seems like something I just "shouldn't" do). But there is nothing about this surgery that changed drinking fluids for me...

    I never did drink differently from before surgery. Of course, I can't drink more than 8 oz at a time Hugh.l but when I walk/ride my bike I drink like a horse
