Remember, staying hydrated post op (and forever) is VERY important. The number one reason for readmission to the hospital is for dehydration. You should be sipping some kind of sugar free Clear Liquids all the time (unless it is meal time). Your goal should be 64 ounces of clear liquids per day. If you commit yourself to getting in around 20 ounces between 8a and 12 noon, 20 ounces between 12 noon and 4pm, and 20 ounces between 4pm and 8pm, that pretty much gets you on track--or you can figure 4 ounces per hour. (that equals out to 1 ounce every 15 minutes). when you break it down, it does not seem so hard to maintain!! Make yourself a schedule that you can check off and it is easy to keep up with. Remember no caffeine for the first 6-8 weeks and no carbonated drinks EVER!! By the way--I am 3 1/2 years out from my sleeve, I initally lost 145 lbs over the first 18 months, and now am maintaining a 135-140 lbs weight loss. My life is awesome!!
