Is it normal to be able to drink alot at one time? I am two weeks out and feel like I can gulp water and it does not bother me.

I'm four weeks post op and I can drink a large volume without any problems. I can't say the same for food, I can handle about a little over 1 cup of solids at a time. I meet with my doct today and he said this may change when I get my first (six week) fill on June 10th.

For me, I could gulp down anything for a while. I only needed to slow down after a couple of fills and when I really started to feel the restriction. After that, it is quite painful to drink too much at one time. I would suggest you try to take small sips now and get used to it before the "negative reinforcement" begins. That's just my experience though.
