Just curious, I am 5 weeks out and as I was sipping some iced coffee (homemade) tonight I wondered will we always sip the rest of our lives or will there come a time where we can just drink normally (not gulping or anything like that)?

    I'm about five weeks out too, RNY, and I find the drinking restrictions more difficult than those for eating. I have to constantly stop myself from drinking too fast. Not drinking before, during or after meals is also hard, but I'm told that's something I'll always need to follow.

    I had RNY 5-9-12 and I have been drinking fairly normal for the last 2 months.

    the only thing I wont do is drive any where with out a drink. where ever I go my drink goes with me or I get sick

    RNY, I am 4 1/2 months out but I was drinking water pretty normal at 2 1/2 months and I can chug 4 oz of liquid pretty easy now. I do this with my shakes so I don't have to taste them :P

    Just today I noticed I am taking slightly larger drinks than a sip at a time. I found another forum where some of the posters were saying they never felt like they only had to sip, or only did for a very short time, and then began drinking fairly normally.
