I was one of the lucky ones. I could drink normally after about two weeks. Some people have to sip a lot longer. I almost six months out and haven't had any issues drinking or eating. I eat healthy and I made goal at about 5 months.

Wondering the same. I guess it's different with everyone. I still sip and I'm about 3 weeks out. I hope I can take bigger sips by summer time :) hot utah summers need hydration!

I'm having a super difficult time with the sipping. I'm not getting in enough liquids I don't think. I'm hoping that over time I can drink normally again because this is quite difficult.

What I do to help this, because this is hard for me to, is bringing my Water or drink with me everywhere and just put it where I can constantly see it. It reminds me I need to sip. I also have a husband that reminds me all the time as well but not everyone does lol I hope this helps. Just put it where it will bug you so you see it and remind yourself to sip.

I'm 7 weeks out and started using a straw at about 5 weeks. No problems and am able to get tons more Water in daily. No more sipping for me!

I'm 11 days out and I don't need to slow sip anymore. I don't gulp or guzzle. But I can take repeated swallows of Water with no issue. Can't wait to start using straws again!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
