Hello, im on my 5th day post op and lately very time I drink 1hr later I feel likeif I just drank a gallon of water! I take my time drinking 4 oz usually 30 to 45 mins! Am I drinking too fast? Too much? I'm suppose to be drinking 4oz every hour which lets be honest is way too much!! Help thanks

4 oz an hour isn't really that much; it's half a cup. I don't know what to say except maybe slow down a little if you're feeling really full or bloated.

try drinking it with a spoon, I had the same trouble after surgery as well and had to train myself to take smaller sips and the spoon really helped.

I drink slowly sometimes can't even finish the whole 4 oz.. I notice it only happens when I drink every hour by the 3 hr I feel bloated! Is so uncountable!! Thank u so much for the replies

I had no issue drinking after surgery.... i started super slow but sometimes I wonder if they forgot to put a band in. loL

i haven't been banded yet... (this next monday i will!) and my doctor and nutricionist is having me drink 1 oz (Like a shot glass size) every 15 minutes. Maybe that would help since its in smaller intervals?

Yeah the hospital gave me a dozen of those and I haven't use them yet, will try them!
