Hi everyone,

Is it normal to barely get 12 ounces of Fluid in 3 days post op? I take tiny sips and I still get very "gurgley". I feel like that's my body telling me to slow down, but I can't go any slower! Should I ignore this feeling and keep sipping?

I do my barium swallow tomorrow, so will ask doctor and NUT too, but still interested in others' experiences.

Don't worry about the gurgling. It is normal. Keep sipping so you don't get dehydrated.

Thank you

Yup. Gurgling and all sorts of weird noises occurred with me in the first few months. Very rarely happens now.

I have been doing sugar-free Popsicle's it is only 2 ounces Fluid but they are so refreshing and help you keep hydrated

When I was 3 days out I had to drink all day. You should be getting a minimum of 65 Oz of Fluid. Your kidneys need it too.
