Whose having surgery in july? my date is the 9th!

I was sleeved on July 31. I did really well w my surgery, food progression to this point, pain, etc. except...I got overheated a couple of days and now I have heat exhaustion. It is reallllly hard to get ahead of when you can only sip water...I'm curious...how long does it take you to drink 4 or 8 oz of liquid at this point. Maybe I am being too cautious??? I don't want to spring a leak!

I have had problems with drinking. It doesn't take me long at all. Drink at whatever pace you are comfortable. What did your doctor say?

I have NOT had problems drinking. Sorry.

Hmmm...I really haven't had problems drinking...I am just having trouble I guess, with my own mental picture of what my sleeve can hold. I really need to be chugging water at this point...and these sips through out the day are making it hard to recover from heat exhaustion...

I guess I am having a hard time asking my question...am I going to cause a leak drinking 8 oz, then 8 oz, then 8 oz...I need to be continually guzzling at this point and am not sure how long it takes my stomach to empty?

I have NOT had problems drinking. Sorry.

And thank you!!!

Oh, and I was at dr yesterday, and left with plenty of instructions about how to make sure I was getting my water/fluids, worry more about fluids and protein right now as opposed to diet, etc and I drank, drank, drank, albeit a little slowly...and it wasn't until this am my symptoms seemed a little better...and now they are coming back...it's kind of hard to get caught up fluid wise-once you get behind! Watch out for high heat, folks!

I think you need get some gatorade

I can drink 8 oz in like 15 minutes. I was sleeved 7/29. I don't have to sip much I can almost take a normal drink and it doesn't hurt at all. I can easily get my fluids and protein in finally.

I was sleeved on the 31st also and I drink approximately 12-20 oz in an hour. I always was a drinker of fluids before my surgery as well though.

When I get my water in I find I get up and pee all night long.

Me to. I try to stop by 7 pm and that helps.

I try to look at it as getting rid of fat cells. That is an idea however by 7 I still need to drink 20 oz.

This really helps me. I don't know why...but I guess having to start with the medicine cups and having the NO STRAW rule (is that still in force, btw) and the general attitude of "TRY" (as if it would be difficult$ to get in 64 oz of h2o over the day, had me thinking I was drinking water to quickly. I don't know. I have to find something to worry about! I guess I envision myself drinking too much and causing a terrible problem!

I guess I'm still sitting around taking little bird sips! I wanna take a regular drink! Lol!
