Why is my only problem with WATER???

I miss the chugging water, too. I think that's what I used to do; not drink alot during the day & then chugging a ton of water after work. I am having problems right now with getting my fluid intake. My chest hurts like hell when I try to eat or drink. Not sure if I am sipping too much at a time and not chewing enough or what. Doc said to make sure sipping and then to make sure chew 25 times, even if it's pureed foods that I am on at this time. My surgery was Aug 28th.

I'm 12 weeks out and can drink normally again. I can chug down water now. I can't down a bottle in one chug like I used to, but almost half of one as long as its not violent chugging and I haven't eaten in the past hour. Just give it time.
