Hey guys. So I'm getting a little overwhelmed about getting all my fluids in. I just don't know how much I can drink at a time, plus I'm in puréed so I need to eat. Do you think a sip every few minutes is okay?

Getting Water in should be your number one priority. Good you are in puree but doesn't matter if you get dehydrated. Keep drinking all day long. Even at 6.5 mths out, I always have water handy. The more water, the more weightloss too. It helps carry the toxins and fat out of your body.

Right. Just curious how quickly we can drink. Do you sip every few minutes?

Yes you should be getting in 30ml every 15 minutes right now! So sips every few minutes is perfect and you need to get in at leastv64 oz per day!

Drank pretty quickly from day 3. My program said as long as you don't "guzzle" it, and there is no pain involved, drink as you wish. I just drink 8 oz at a time. Not really a sipper here.

In the beginning I took a sip ever minute or so.

Now I just guzzle 8 to 16 ounces randomly.

11 days out I sip constantly. I set my timer for 30 minutes after Breakfast, fill up my 20 oz water bottle and sip sip sip. When I get that down, set that timer again, have my next "meal", when it goes off and when I'm finished the timer goes back on. I do this all day from the minute I get up till I go to bed. I basically spend my whole day drinking Water or my Protein Shake. Would love to get a nap in once in a while but no time!

      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!
