  • Yes I did not get even that much fluid in the first few days. All I can say is just keep sipping. As you heal you will get more in. Good luck in your journey

i am also 3 days post op and so far today i have had about 28 ounces. I guess its pretty much normal

I'm 5 days post op and I am really strugglin with the 64 oz of water. Ugh..gonna keep sipping

I've found if I stand up then take a drink and walk around for a minute or so (bathroon break, empty dishwasher,etc) that gravity is my friend!

It took me about a week to be able to take 32oz, at 2 weeks out I was managing 64oz. At 8 weeks I get 64oz plus some. You WILL get there :)
