Hi all, I'm due to have my surgery at the end of next month, but I'm concerned the surgery may affect my ability to do my job.

I have a job that requires heavy lifting and strenuous work in sometimes very hot conditions.

On a hot day I could consume 8 ltrs and still end up dehydrated by shift end.

Can anyone tell me if they think I will be able to get enough Water to function?

It depends. I had no trouble gulping Water after five days. Others I know sip for years. I suspect most people are somewhere in between. However, you have months to recover before it gets hot again.

Im so scared to gulp....lol. so scared im going to stretch my stomach, that im still sipping. Im only 3 wks out but i can take a gulp of Water. Maybe like 4 before i get that fullness feel. Should i be concerned that i could stretch my stomach

It took me almost 2 months to be able to intake larger amounts of Water.

Thanks for your answers, it sounds like I'm in for some major dehydration issues.

It's just heading in to the hottest time of the year here in Australia, so I guess I'll make drinking Water my main goal post op
