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