Do you measure each sip or do you just put it in a cup and sip. I'm 6 days out so I'm wondering.

I put mine in a 8oz glass & when I've finished it, I pour another. Congrats to you on your journey to the Loser's bench :)

I bought a 4oz measuring cup from Walmart and know I need to finish 1 per hour minimum

I make sure I drink 1 medicine cup full every 15 minutes. Then I just switched to taking a sip all the time. :)

I just drink one mouthful from a normal bottle and know how many bottles I drink. I want to feel as normal as I can. I am 3 days out and feeling pretty great.

I had no trouble drinking and just swallowed mouthfuls pretty constantly. I would imagine measuring each sip and each ounce would be a pain and lead me to obsessing about it. Just drink and look to the final goal for the day.

I am still struggling to get my fluids in .... I'm 2.5 weeks out... but I'm having some other problems. But it is getting easier and I just measure a total at the end of the day.... good luck!! :D

I'm 5 days out. bought a sippy cup and it works great, it keeps me mindful of how much I'm drinking. Of course I guess I'll have to ditch it when it's time to go back to work.

      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'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
