I suppose I'm in the same boat -- I'm 9 days out and I have absolutely no problem drinking all the water I'm supposed do, as others here have complained. I have accidentally taken large sips (not really gulps, but close), and have had no ill effects.
Also, I'm on the "full liquid" diet until May 21, and I easily consume all of my allotted shakes and soups six times a day. Only a couple of times have I felt too full. No upset stomach, no cramps, no gas, no nothin'. I'm thankful that I haven't experienced any of the pain and nausea that a lot of others have mentioned, but I am a little worried that my pouch is just a little too tolerant.
I'm still carefully following my nutritionist's plan, but in the back of my mind I wonder what would happen if I strayed? I'm not going to find out, but the thought is there.
I sometimes feel hungry, but thankfully I've got a fridge and freezer of allowed items like SF Popsicles and pudding. I admit I do miss the crunch of a nice green salad...
