I heard that after the surgery you can no longer gulp water...you know, like when you are really thirsty. Is this true? Or are stuck sipping everything?

Sometimes it can take a second for it to go down, but on an empty pouch, I can gulp with no problem.

Oh great. Thanks for the info! I thought I would have to sip all day long to get all the water I need in. Must just be for the first couple of months. I am having my surgery on 2-8...Very excited, but really nervous. I got kinda scared once I realized the time was here.

Sometimes it hurts if I gulp too fast. You need to just be careful.

Gulp would be like its a hot day and you drink 3 or 4 gulps of water from a water bottle or something like that. When your mouth is dry or what not. Hope that makes sense. :confused:
