First day post op and epic failure on Water intake. Only got down 3 16.9oz. bottles of water. Is this a huge issue?

How is this a failure? That is great! Keep up the good work! Keep going and working on it and give yourself some credit, you just had a major surgery! :)

I'm supposed to have 64oz. What are the repercussions of less than 64? Very nervous

64 oz is a general guideline that the doctors give everyone. It is not set in stone. You will not have epic problems if you fail to get that much in a day. Most people cant drink that much right after surgery. You will find in the next day or two you will be able to do it easily. Just try to relax, nothing will happen ..as long as you are drinking SOME water..it will be okay..but later on as the weeks progress, try and get more in because some have found that their weight loss stalls when they dont drink enough and the reason for that is simply due to the fact that Water helps flush out the fat.. every time you think about drinking water..just visualize yourself peeing out your fat..thats whats happening!

      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!
