How much should i be able to drink?



Recommended Posts

1-2 oz every hour on stage one. I wouldn't push it. You don't want to be in pain.

Thats about what i have been having. Is it bad that I do two ozs at once and then nothing for another hr. So far so good and no pain doing it that way.

Water drains through pretty fast, even with pre-op swelling. IMO, 1 ounce per hour is not enough.... What did your surgeon advise?

On day3 post-op my instructions say to increase up to 4 oz per hour based on my toleration. After a week or so we should be able to drink 6-8 cups a day :)

Also make sure you sip the Water. They told me to use small cups or medicine cups during this phase so I don't drink fast.

I am so new to this, my surgery date is December 30th. Are you talking about Water? Are the Protein Shakes? I'm having trouble getting into the

personal part to update my profile. Good luck on your adventure, I can't wait to get mine done.

2 days post op I will still be on clear liquids. 3-4 days post op I will be on full liquids (Protein drinks, yogurt, Jello exc). During the full liquid stage all of it contributes to the daily intake.

I am 4 days post op (12/2) and having a really hard time with gas bubbles. My surgeon says I should be getting in about 2 oz. of Protein Drink every 1-2 hours right now. Also have to have 60 oz of water/ day - I'm drinking constantly but the gas bubbles fill my stomach up and I can't physically get anything down. I'm SO thirsty I just want to gulp down ice water! My head hurts and I feel weak today. I'm trying to force myself to drink more so I don't get dehydrated ????

I'm 3 days out from surgery (12/3) and I have been feeling wonderful until this morning, no problem getting fluids in, no nausea . Today lightheaded, weak and gas bubbles!! I'm wondering if all this gas is making me lightheaded? Has anyone else heard of this

Hi

Have you heard of Isopure? It is a flavored clear liquid that has a lot of Protein in it. I have read many sleepers use it to get their protein in. I'm getting my sleeve Tuesday & am getting super scared.

      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!
