When could you gulp?

I feel like I could down more protein shakes if I could gulp them down.  But gulp is still no bueno, for me.  I tried it, and it was like a trampoline.  ..... Won't try it again for a while.

 I was about six months out...give or take...before I could gulp down water without it coming right back up. Funny thing is I didn't realize I was doing it as I was dying of thirst on a hot day and just did it. I was like.. Cool beans!! *lol*

i found out i could gulp by accident also! i could not really burp for about a year, air usually comes out the out way, maybe you should make them more flavorful with flavored syrups or fruit,(bananas, peanut butter)  then you can sip and enjoy, lots of recipes on OH and the internet. better not to gulp now anyway...

i guess it was also about 6 months out that i realized i could do more than sip, sip, sip.  it too was by accident. 
i do find that drinking with a straw helps me get more in faster.  just go slow the first couple of times. 
ya know, that protein powder ain't cheap.  don't want anything coming back up that should be staying down. 

Many months. Think about it. Your stomach now holds how much, a couple ounces? For me, that's one decent gulp. Imagine a test tube and trying to pour a full measure of something into it in one SPLAT. That's what you're doing with your gulp. Your stomach has no "give" to it. You have to put stuff into it at a careful, measured rate, like you'd fill a test tube. Respect your equipment if you want it to work for you.

I'm 4 months out and recently noticed that I can drink "normal". For me.

Drinking normally around 6 months. Gulping took longer.

I've been able to take a mouthful of water down since around week 12ish. I guess you could call that a gulp. I'm now 16 weeks out and can take 3 good-sized drinks of water down at a time (6-7 oz total) Thicker protein drinks, on the other hand, only about 2 drinks for 10 to 15 minutes.

 I can gulp now at 3+ months out. But keep in mind that a DS is not the same as a VSG. Your sleeve is significantly smaller than ours... about the size of your pinky on the inside if I remember correctly. HTH

It was probably around 4 months out for me.
