Will i have to sip forever?

Is there any point that I will be able to take a normal sip of things after surgery?

      I am 3 1/2 weeks post op and am able to drink normally, I do get full sometimes and slow down but do not have to sip.

      It gets better, really. I drink almost normally now. Just can't chug like I used to, but others can.

      I am two months tomorrow and I can turn up a water bottle and chug exactly 5 chugs. Any more than that and its uncomfortable. I've always been a water chugger, and those first few weeks were torture f

    Everyone experiences different tolerances for liquids.In my case, I was able to chug liquids 3 days post op and have not had any issues, I'll be 5 weeks post op next week.

    I'm glad someone asked this. I'm 3 weeks post-op and not being able to drink a few gulps is so annoying. I like to run and not being able to drink enough afterwards is frustrating! I'm also going to start a Bikram yoga class and I'm a little worried about the dehydration if I can't guzzle a bottle of Water like I used to.

    I take hot yoga and I am able to hydrate myself just fine, no issues.
