I have been using the medicine cup. Tried to estimate yesterday but totally lost count. Luckily I finished two 12 oz G2 bottles, so I knew I had at least 24 oz.
The medicine cup also helps the liquid to warm up, which goes down a little smoother for me. I usually sip three times out of each 1 oz. cup. Once I get a cup down, I make a tally mark.
Ridiculous, but I'm scared to be dehydrated. They had to stick me 4 times to get the IV in and I have three terrible bruises, I don't want to have to go in for an IV if I can help it.
4 days down, woohoo!

hope2Bfitand40 thanks for the support! I know I'm not the only one but some days it sure feels like it!!
How do you measure your sips? do you use a small medicine cup or do you just estimate?

Hey lady! So, are you on any kind of acid reducting medication? If your stomach is rumbling that is not head hunger. Head hunger is pretty much uncontrollable ( they can be controlled but hard to do! ) desire to eat.
Anyhow, having a lot of acid can mimic hunger pains. I use Prilosec and as long as I'm eating protein first I rarely feel hunger pains even this far out from surgery, and even when I do they are faint in comparison to pre surgery.
The pain while swallowing does go away, rest assured. It took me at least three weeks from what I remember.
*hugs* NO worries, you're doing excellent.

Geeze Louise! Be careful! Yes, best to go in and have them check you out.
Take care.

Me too! Me too! February 13th Let's go!!
