I love water! And I miss drinking a glass of cold water. How long before you were able to drink water like before you were sleeved. If I do more than a sip of room temp water (yuck!) I feel like I'm dying. Took me 2 hours to do 8 oz. I'm thirsty!

A few months maybe, it doesn't take that long. I can drink normally as long as there is no food in my stomach.

I'm two years post-op and I can't drink Water like I used to. I can sip, which I do, generally with a straw, to my heart's content. But actually just glugging down a big bottle of water, nope, I barf it right back up and it actually hurts my esophagus.

About six months. I can gulp away now!

I am a month out and can drink fairly normally as long as I don't have food in my tummy. I can't gulp that puts some pressure in my tummy but I can take 3 fairly large mouthfulls right after one another. Everyone is different, just depends on you. Try different temps of Water. I can drink ice cold water easier than warm or room temperature. Good Luck!

About 3 months. For the longest time I had to take baby sips. I was actually surprised when I got to the point where I could drink as normal.

Hey there. I am six months out and I cannot drink like I used to. I take big gulps and I burp like crazy. It's small swallows from here on out.
