Congrats on your BANDING!! I was given the rule of thumb to do 8oz in 30 minutes or at least 8 oz per hour by sipping. I'm so glad that you are feeling pretty good. You might want to try room temp Water as opposed to ice water. Some times the ice water can cause the gas pains to erupt. Sounds strange, but true for some of us anyhow. Anyway, I hope this helps you out.

It depends on how well you can take in liquid. My doctor told me 1-2oz every 30 minutes..I actually had a little 2oz shot glass that I would use all day...but even though you need alot of liquids my doctor told me that at first you do but not to worry if you can't get in 60oz. At first I had alot of discomfort and could barly drink 20 oz in a day...my doctor said 20oz was fine at first and I had no issues. You literally need drink all day throughout the day. If you can take in more than I would take as much as you feel comfortable taking in but just take it slow and sip. You will be fine!!

I also had a cup near my bed, and every time I woke up during the night I sipped from it. I had to go pee a lot, but it also helped to make me walk and thus helped get the gas out.

congrats on the banding!!

It took me probably 5 or 6 days to get up to 68 oz.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
