Well had my 3 week 3 day post op exam today and that went really well i am down 32 pounds total and 12 pounds since August 5th. doctor was very pleased but did say i had to cut back on fluids i am drinking double the requirement . also start physical therapy in 4 weeks instead of 6 weeks.

Great job! How are you drinking so much? I am fighting to get enough fluids in and I sip all day long!

i was drinking a lot right out of surgery i haven't had one issue with the liquids, i drink 4 or 5 bottles of 16.9 oz deer park Water as well as 4 cups decaf coffee at 16 oz each and 2 11 oz Protein shakes a day. doctor said slow it down 48 to 64 is all i need.

but starting this today i find it hard to do i just keep on drinking, doctor did say he has patients who have a very hard time getting any water or fluids down.

Congrats your doing great I just had my months post opt visit and my doctor says I am doing great laps were perfect and I am feeling great. I have even turn into a fitness geek ,I am working out for 1 hour for 5 days and I am back again wearing dresses. We all got this enjoy everyday because you are one day closer to getting to your goal. Keep up the great work my friends.

Congrats !! I can drink lots to I got scared like is this normal lol

in support group the other night i heard people saying they had a hard time getting liquids in , one girl said she drinks about 4 ounces then has to wait 30 minutes to an hour to drink another 4 ounces. i also thought something was wrong since i was able to drink so much but they said it was a good thing just slow it down.

DId the doctor say why you should slow down the fluid intake?
