Worried about water intake

I currently drink 99oz water a day +. I'm always drinking water, all day. I'm so worried about being so thirsty and feeling like I can't get enough to drink after surgery. I've read where people get in *only* 20 oz of water!! Makes me feel anxious just thinking of that!

  • That is a good start if you can drink a lot. Right after surgery you are given like medicine cups and they want you to drink 1-2 ounces every 15 minutes up to 64 ounces if you get more in that's grea

  • I was a big water drinker before surgery and it was tough for several months getting used to not drinking as much. Just get in as much as you can. After surgery it is the #1 thing to do.

Oh and you are to sip not gulp. The best thing is buy a sippy cup for toddlers to help

I gulp now and can drink a pint glass in nothing flat, I think I will miss drinking Water quickly more then food. When you are thirsty you are thirsty, or does being thirsty subside after RNY?

Ugh! Off to enjoy a bunch of water while I still can.....

I'm thirsty, like you I was worried too could drink 20 oz in nothing flat! Dos 12/17/2012 just sip as often as possible! You will make it!
