How much fluid could you take at 3 weeks postop in just a few minutes?

about 4 ounces. It takes me 60-75 minutes to drink a 16.9 ounce water bottle. And I feel like I am a good drinker. No problems, pain, or vomiting.

For some reason I can drink a lot too.

However, I get really sick if I drink a Protein shake that fast.

It's not a problem if you can drink Water normally though, which I can for the most part.

I can drink the EAS shakes very fast also. Just worried that I shouldn't be able to.

I can drink about 12 oz an hour but makes me feel like I've been snacking the whole time lol.

I was the same way, I was able to drink normally within a few days post op. I could drink large amounts, and didn't have to sip. I was worried, but my NUT said it was fine. She said everyone is different, and we all have different anatomy. Just do what feels right for your body.

At first I could drink no problem, but now, as time goes on I'm more like bonbon says above.

Days 1-5 couldn't drink much at all

Days 6-15 no issues drinking at all

Days 16-current..I can feel the restriction coming on as the meds completely leave my system. I feel significant restriction. My water goes down slower than her tho.

It will take me aprox 3 hours to drink my 24oz water bottle. A 8oz shake is now about 30 minutes.

But like I said, days 6-15 I could sort of chug.

Hope this helps.

I have found drinking liquids like water to be more difficult now than the first 7-10 days. Milk however, goes down much easier than anything else.

I will be 3 weeks out tomorrow. I have very little restrictions with reguard to liquids of any kind. I can drink a protein shake on under 20 min... and if I haven't eaten in a while I can chug water. My problem is last night I started really wanting food. I've been struggling with this all day. Purees just aren't doing it for me like I hoped they would. I think because everything is so liquidy it just goes right through me. I ate a cheese stick today, chewed it till it was liquefied and finally felt full... for hours. But now that I'm full.. I don't want to drink and get hungry again. Very confusing.
