When does the sipping end?
As long as that feels comfortable for you.

At about 3-4 weeks out I could tell a definite difference in how much I could sip or drink at one time. By about two months out I felt like I was definitely taking "normal" drinks...not guzzling, still don't do that. But definitely more normal.

^^^ What Tracy said. It took about four weeks before I could take a healthy swig of water. Now I can finish off half a 16 ounce bottles water in one gulp.

I am almost 4 months out and was having problems meeting my daily goal of fluid intake. I carried around a 32 oz deer park water bottle. With the small mouth on the bottle I had a hard time of getting all my liquids in. I switched to drinking from a 16 oz blender cup as the opening is wider and less room for air. This has increased my water intake. I am now drinking on the upper side of 70 oz a day.
