Basically i had to relearn how to eat like a normal healthy person, not like a Labrador retriever.

Took me 6 wks of pain to finally eat mindfully. You could try a kiddie sippy cup.

My surgeon gave me some of those little medicine cups and had me use those --- sipping water from them over 10 minutes time. That helped me a lot because I used to down water bottles really quickly.

I used small cups & only room tempature or warm liquid. 3 months post op I still can't drink anything cold.

I'd gulp, then I'd puke. I learned to sip real fast! LOL!
