That's normal and it's your system telling you to slow down the drinking.

You need to take smaller sips. I am just over one week out. I can take bigger sips than right after surgery, but I still can't gulp water. Your surgery center should have told you about this. It gets better but you likely will not be able to "guzzle" water anymore.
