All I can say is take it real slow. It hurts going down. You know how you
give a one year old a drink of water, well think of yourself as a one year
old, take small sips many times even if it is to just wet the tongue. I
hope this helps good luck to you it will get easier. Hang on in there.

Don't ever use straws to drink and try using a child's sippy cup. I know
you wouldn't do that in public, but in the privacy of your own home, it's
not a problem.

Drinking with straws causes more air in the stomach.. Which will cause
you to hold less water and burp more.. I use a 32oz jug with spout at top
filled with ice and aberfoyle water twice a day. I drink one jug from
the time I get up until 30 minutes before lunch time.. Then fill it
again for the afternoon, that way I get in no less than 64 ozs. Plus my
v8 juice & protein drink I count those as my between meal snacks..
