How long does it take you to drink



Recommended Posts

How far out from surgery are you? Earlier its harder, but it gets better. At almost 6 months I can drink about 8 oz over 15 minutes.

I carry a 32oz bottle with me everywhere. During my work day I make sure to finish it, sipping periodically throughout the day, then drink some more at home before/after dinner.

I don't quiet get 64oz daily, but I'm close. Works for me.

You're doing great at an hour and a half. I bring a 32 ounce cup of tea to work and it takes me the entire work day to drink it. That of course includes stops for a snack and lunch.

At two weeks, it was taking me that long too, if not longer. Now at four weeks I can sometimes finish one in 45 min. It will get better with time!

I cannot answer this question as drinking has become and unconscious activity. It's just something I do. I fact, I have to measure my liquids as I go through the day, I dispense 16oz at a time, when empty I log it. But there are shakes, coffee in fact just about everything I eat is a liquid at this point. I got through a 34 oz Water bottle in 2.5 hours during school last night (and that was while trying to get caught up in Statistics), however I drank the same bottle in about an hour earlier in the day. My NUT is getting miffed as she said I am taking in too much liquid.< /p>

A really long time! I sip on 20oz bottle all day. I also do a Protein Shake for liquids... I need to increase my Water but it is hard!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
