Less than 14 days post op - guzzling water like nothing

I had my surgery on June 23rd. I'm down nearly 20lbs, still in my liquid only phase. I'm worried because I have no issues with drinking. I can down a 16 oz bottle of water in less than 3 minutes. Is there something wrong with my sleeve?

Im jealous! If I take a big gulp I have to keep half in my cheek and swallow in two parts. I feel a bit like a chipmunk. LOL

I've been avoiding drinking too much water at one time not knowing if it's good for the new tummy or not and my NUT has only told me to try drinking more. Before surgery, that was the main liquid I drank - so I'll start drinking it like I used to again. thanks!

Question though, is it ok to drink the protein liquids that quick too? It's so hard for me to drink the muscle milk slow and 3oz at a time, I enjoy the flavor and want to drink it while it's still real cold.
