Was above able to drink like normal?

I'm 3 weeks out and I can drink like normal. I could gulp big gulps if I wanted to. I haven't pushed myself but I also never feel full but I never go over the 4 ounces. Did anyone else have this problem?

I haven't tried to really easy any real solids yet. But I am able to drink like normal. When I easy my 4 ounces I never feel full.

I am the same way, I haven't had any problems drinking from the start. Solids I definitely can feel the restriction.

I'm the same!!

it was a nice surprise, somehow I thought I would be sipping for the rest of my life, and I love to drink Water. it was the same for me.
