crazy question!
okay this might sound dumb but i need to know. im not getting enough water in. so i thought maybe im drinking too slow. i take a sip like every 2 minutes.watching the clock. are we supposed to wait a time limit between each sip or can we just keep sipping? if we can just keep taking sips i can for sure get my water in.
My doc said we should be able to drink "normal" from early out. I've never sipped I've always taken normal drinks.. I don't guzzle cuz ugh i forgot and tried that once when I was hot won't do that again. But I drink my water just like I did before. I'd never get it in if I had to sip and watch the clock.

I gulp a lot at a time, but then again I'm 4 years out. I could not gulp in the beginning.

No need to time your sips. I am drinking pretty much like I was pre op. You will learn where you are comfortable. I tend to take a mouthful & get 3 small swallows out of that. Once in a while I will drink too much too quick & then I get a twinge in my throat. Just enough to be a reminder to slow down a little. Good luck!
