I was sick as a dog on the second day, then miraculously all the icky feeling went away on Day 3. Just hang in there. It will get better. Hugs.

The OP is so inspiring to me. I'm only two weeks post op. It's hard to believe I could lose that much weight in four months! Congratulations.

I'm only 1.5 weeks post op and have had similar concerns about being able to drink more than the 4 oz. of water per hour I was prescribed to drink. On Tuesday I asked the doctor about this and she said that if I could drink more without any problems, I was free to do so. She said being able to drink greater amounts was normal for some people. However, she did warn me not to guzzle down an entire hour's worth of fluids in one shot. She said this would put pressure on my staples. Hope this helps!
