Trouble drinking???

I had my RNY done on April 20th. I am down 35 pounds so far since surgery. I am able to eat about an ounce and half at meal time. My big problem is getting my water down. If I try to drink fast it feels like it is going to come back up. I try doing the sip, sip, sip thing but don't get enough in through out the day. I have tried different things such as just plain water, crystal light, and ice tea. Has anyone else had this trouble?

Thanks for any help that I can get.

I still have to work very, very hard to get to 60 oz, but I have NO trouble eating LOL.

I found right from the start (and still do) that warm/hot liquids go down easier than cool/cold, so if I am really desperate, I drink something hot.

I also struggled to ge****er in the first few weeks... warm or hot liquids seemed to go down better at first...

I also had a "sippy cup" I used for the first few weeks... so that I could take it to bed at night and drink some water through out the night too.
