Hi everyone ,sounds good all the food your getting down. My question is, when does the sipping stop? I know I will always have to be mindful of how I eat (slowly) . Just curios how long it took to stop this sipping ?

I've been able to drink without sipping from the beginning. I don't gulp but I can drink a normal sip without issues. I would try and see if you could take a full sip. I'm two months out.
