Post Opers Over A Year: How Much Ounces Of Water Can You Drink In One Time?

[Kiki Von Moonshine 53]

I'd like to know how much Water you can drink in one sitting, and how much water do you drink before, during, and after an intense workout? This is one part of the surgery that I think might get to me. When I work out hard, I'm thirsty, and then I wonder... What now?

well I'm only two months out, but I can drink as much Water as I want.

I very often drink a 32 oz Powerade zero in one sitting, over the coarse of 20 min. or so.

As long as there's not food in there, liquids kind of just slide on through.

That's good to know. I love my liquids.< /p>

Hello Kiki - I'm 18 months out, so you have much to look forward to. I can drink as much water as I ever could, no problem. Early out is another story, so the only thing you can do is allow time to pass until you're able to drink more.

During a 45 Minute workout I will fill up a 23.9 Oz Smart water bottle and I'll usually have to sparse it out or I'll finish it too soon. I also will have a 32 Oz bottle of water at my desk and on aggressive days I'll drink it in 3 hours, less aggressive days I'll do 4 hours. I can drink 2-3 of these on any given day.

My usual intake is 72 Oz on days without workout and up to 128 Oz on days where I am working out.

Good luck in your journey!

Oh, okay thanks. I thought I could only drink like 2 oz and I was like OMG, I'm going to be so thirsty and uncomfortable! Lol.

I am about 14 months out and can attest that I too can drink just as much as I want - albeit a little slower than I used to be able to. I could slam a full bottle of Water in a minute or two, now it takes me 3 or 4 for a fast drink. Otherwise I DO get a bellyache if I drink to fast.

It's good to hear your responses, because this was a big issue for me in my head. I have to still practice to drink more throughout the day, but have been known to wait until I am thirsty then guzzle my Water down. I'm trying to retrain myself in regards to my water intake.
