I can drink 2 oz of water, without a problem.  it took several months to get to that point though.

I took small sips for about a day after I got home post-op. I then realized that I could take bigger drinks with absolutely no problem. I wouldn't call it gulping, but I am certainly able to drink more than most people talk about around here. It'll be an individual thing, how much you can drink.

Thanks for all the feedback. I really am happy about hearing from everyone. It has given me comfort to know that I will have a place to share as I go through this life altering experience! Thanks to all who commented! I will try the shot glass idea. R
