So I was told to start drinking protein shakes, this one was delicious with 30g of protein. Anyhow the question is I could drink almost all of it, I left maybe an ounce because I thought I shouldn't drink it all. Doesnt it seem like a lot?

ME TOO!! I to am surprised that I can drink so much, yesterday I drank about the same but it was made at home and it only took me an average time as though I had nothing done. I also have not had any of the issues others have had, I can drink a 20oz bottle of water in about 15/20 mins?. My Dr. gave me a DVD of my surgery, if it weren't for that I would think nothing at this point happened. hahaha I did eat about 2 1/2 oz of yogurt last night and I was full for the rest of the night...so I think its just that maybe our swelling wasn't as severe as others which is good for us...I know as of about the 5th day out I have not had any issues regarding getting all my water in!

Wow. I cannot drink that much, but really, really wish I could! Before surgery I was a heavy water drinker, at least a gallon a day and nothing else. The most of anything I have been able to drink (since surgery) is about 2-3 ounces of milk in about 20 minutes. (But sometimes it seems to give me a tummy ache). I have to take small sips of vitamin water and can only drink 16-20 ounces a day so far. I also chew on ice and get about 4-6 ounces a day through that. Water makes my tummy feel acidic and yucky If I chew on too much ice it makes my tummy feel the same as if I drank water. I am really battling dehydration right now, but doing my best to get in what I can. I'm 4 weeks out today.

I would try something else besides water, did I have a juice u like before your sleeve? I struggle with water too, prob because I just don't enjoy it. I just had some milk and now I think my body didn't like it either. I love milk:(

Never was into drinking juice. I love OJ but with the acid, I don't think it would sit well and I'm not even willing to try it! I have done fruit punch vitamin water successfully though! Yesterday I was able to drink 16 oz of it. Working on it again today. I saw another poster that said they had trouble with water but after starting hot herbal teas things got better. So I'll try it after I finish my vitamin water. *Missing water*
