Hello ladies and gents. Wondering how much Fluid u guys could drink a day after surgery. My tummy hurts and I only drank 14 Oz in 24 hours. Plus I have hiccups after 1 very small sip of Water. Insight needed. I'm about to tell my nurse after they change shifts. Just thought I'd ask.

If u fail to plan, u plan to fail.

Not sure what I was getting in the day after surgery, but no one was concerned because I was so loaded with IV fluids at that point. I know it was day 5 before I was up to 60oz. But believe me, it took a conscious effort to sip all day long. I had a bottle by my bed that I started the moment I opened my eyes and didn't stop until I fell asleep each night. If I missed sipping for even one hour out of the day it was difficult to catch up.

And if you are having a hard time, try different things. For me, I couldn't tolerate plain Water for about 4 months and warm stuff (broth and herbal tea) went down easier. Good luck!

I was only able to drink about 6 oz total the two days I was in the hospital. Each tiny little sip hurt so much. But by my second day home, it had gotten much better, and I've been able to get in at least 64 oz since then (I'm on day 6 right now). Using a straw once I got home helped a lot. I know some programs frown on them, but, honestly, I think I take in more air when I am sipping than when I use a straw.

Finding good temperatures also helped. My sleeve likes things either ice cold or piping hot, but anything in between and I can't do it.

So 14 oz in 24 hours seems like a great start to me, and it should only get easier from here on out.

My first day home was yesterday, I only got in about 24 oz of water/protein. Hoping to do better each day until I hit the required 64 oz. I have heard that it may take a few days to get there. Good luck to you! :)

I found myself in the strange predicament of being able to drink as much as I wanted to - a liter (a quarter gallon for you US folks) in fifteen minutes was no problem. I'm having the same experience now, 10 days after surgery.

Had my surgery on 5/3, day after I could drink without getting full, every once and a while I would get a burp or tight pain in my stomach kinda felt like a hunger pain. But all fluids would stay down.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
