how long is it taking you to drink

11 oz? I'm two weeks post op today, and I'm not having a problem at all getting my liquids in at all. And I'm noticing that I'm finishing my premier protein shake pretty quickly. I'm doing it in less than an hr and a half (maybe even closer to an hour). Ill discuss with my doc tomo, just wanna make sure I'm not doing any damage to my new tummy!

And by that... I mean...I want more and more.

I can drink a protein shake in less than an hour and am having no trouble getting my liquids in every day. I am 6 days post op and really have no complaints! I really don't feel any restriction yet. I am walking about 2 miles a day. I have absolutely no regrets!

I'm not having any problems drinking anything! People are so different. Yesterday, my 1st full day home, I drank 80oz of liquid, including 48mg of Protein powder. I'm definitely gonna get that much in today...probably more! My doc told me to drink as much as I can tolerate because liquids won't stretch the stomach. Thank God for that. Good luck to you!

This is inspiring, I'm scared I will become dehydrated, and sickly post op (next weds. ) the this site is not user friendly. Im pretty much on my own, i ha e 1 friend staying a couple hours with me on the 12th, i hope thos will be enough as mind is playing out scary senarios and really feeling fearful. Any feedback will help, thanks

I did have problems getting liquids down in the hospital...and walking! All I wanted to do was sleep!!! The nurses were bugging the crap out of me. I told them that I would do better at home...and I did!!

I had one nurse too that drove me crazy, but luckily she was only working one night. (I had a three night stay)

I'm a week out and it's getting better every day. First couple of days I had no desire to drink at all. Thank goodness for IVs! I'm not dehydrated but I know that I am not reaching the amount of ounces my dr recommends. One day at a time and just keep on sipping.

I refused the pain meds post op. Didn't want the nausea that it caused when I had my band surgery. Now with the revision - it's much easier getting my liquids in and the pain is bearable.

I'm almost 5 months post OP. I have to drink really slow. Otherwise it causes gas and hurts.
