I was told to drink 6 oz per hour. I could easily and want to drink more. Is it dangerous to drink too much water?

It depends, how long did u do your surgery. I wouldn't recommend drinking a lot of water you may get a leak.

just drink small sips of water, and make sure you are eating, maybe you're just hungry

I think that because you just had surgery a few days ago, yes it can be dangerous your stomach and nerves are still numb. It's really important in this stage to measure everything and stick to guidelines because you really can "feel" much yet.

Ok thanks! I will stick to the guidelines! It's not been 72 hours yet.

Consider yourself lucky! At 72 hours out I couldn't even get 6 oz. in during 24 hours and was still hooked up to the IV. Now that some of the inflammation has gone down I can get in more. I'm 5 weeks out and just want to chug some water!!

I'm 9 days out and can drink skim milk and protein powder about 8 oz in about a half hour. No pain or anything. You guys are freaking me ou that I could be causing a leak!

You should slow down, but your fine If you have a leak you will notice believe me. you will feel strong pain and a high heart beat and probably pass out. I never heard that someone got a leak from drinking too much liquid.

Ok thanks!!

Yes I'm getting freaked our too I can have 8oz of water in one gulp noo problem. I was sleeved 4/1 I'm 24 days out

I think my stomach is still numb. I'm not hungry at all but my body tells me I must have calories. I just decided to eat some sugar-full jello (can't have aspartame) and after eating 3/5 of it I experienced productive burping. Oh joy.

as everyone else has said.....

at 3+ days po you need to be nice to your new tummy

if NUT says 6 oz per hour is good - go for it

as OP said - consider yourself lucky that you are able to drink so much so easily

your NUT will eventually give you "permission" to drink more

its great that you love water so much

drink as much water as possible as soon as NUT gives you the go ahead

64 oz is what you are supposed to have - sounds like you will be able to drink much more!!!!

thats terrific!!!

knock your socks off!!

welcome to the start of your new healthier, happier, longer life!!!!

good luck!!!
