Drinking Water at Gym Post RnY.

I am having the worst time drinking water when I'm working out at the gym. Not that I don't want to drink, I just get a slight pain in my pouch I would guess, when I get a drink... I try for a sip, I don't think I'm getting too much, but I have the slight ping of pain, and feel like I need to burp, but don't.
-I have a wide mouth water bottle, I'm afraid if I used a squeeze bottle, I'd end up using it like a straw, and since I'm 3 weeks out, straws are a no-no still.

Anyone have any suggestions for this odd issue? I do so much miss chugging my water.

    I used a squeeze bottle just take tiny sips...that's what I did and eventually you will be back to drinking more

    Three weeks out you are still healing. Give it a few months and things will settle down. Everyone is different, but it changes as you get further out from surgery.

    I still can't chug, but when I am out golfing in the sun I can get through a couple of liters per round.

    What @rpyle111 said, exactly. I drink a 23 oz bottle of water when I am at the gym. Like Rob, I still can't chug, but I can definitely drink my water!

    Thanks!! I'll get a squeeze bottle, and see if it helps. :) I know I need to keep myself hydrated, I definitely dont want to become dehydrated.
