I have a question about water

Im five weeks post op.. I noticed I could drink a whole bottle of 20 onz water.. I have read a lot of ppl saying they have trouble drinking the 64 onz required.. Is it normal that I could drink the whole bottle like in 30 minutes? Im I exagerating or what im doing is wrong? I do it because my body ask me for water I feel the desired of drinking it.

  • I am the same way I drank a lot of water b4 and maybe that is why I can now. Idk. I don't think it's a problem if you can drink that much. Oh and I'm only 2 days out.

  • At 5 weeks I am pretty sure I could have done 20 ounces in 30 minutes. I certainly can now at 9 weeks. I think your body will let you know if you are drinking too much or too fast. I (fortunately)

At 5 weeks I am pretty sure I could have done 20 ounces in 30 minutes. I certainly can now at 9 weeks. I think your body will let you know if you are drinking too much or too fast. I (fortunately) have only gotten sick a few times - and twice it was from drinking too fast because I let myself get way too thirsty. If you sip sip sip and are comfortable - no big deal. Now if you were only a few days out I would say that the nerves of the pouch just have not developed yet too tell you STOP - but at 5 weeks you would know.
