I am 6 days out and finally not felling sick but I feel like I could sip on Water all day I am limiting my self to 6 oz a hour but feel its way to much?

Also it the slipping constantly that makes me feel less nausea. What is the Fluid intake system my paper says 2oz every 15 min but I feel like I could do this all day.

I was the same way. I felt I was sipping too much but in reality it was okay. As long as you aren't getting pain you should be okay. I think getting in the habit of sipping all day is a good thing for after you are back on solid food. If it's habit you will meet your Water goals every day.

2 oz every 15 minutes is for those with bypass surgery because that is their total intake. Goal is at least 32 but 64 oz preferred per day. If you can drink a cup, 8 oz, at a time you will get your daily intake in easily.

Thank you both for your help I guess my question is how much can I drink at once? And not stretch my stomach or break the staples. Thank you both for letting me know I am not alone and Thomas you may have answered me 8oz? That just seems like a lot I will only be one week out tomorrow.

Drink as much as you can without feeling uncomfortable. It is impossible to stretch your stomach or break the staple line, at least impossible by simply drinking Water. If you throw up you've drunk too much, obviously, but don't worry about doing damage, not going to happen. Just worry about getting in at least 32 ounces per day.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
