No liquids for 24 hours normal?



Recommended Posts

Every practice is different. They wanted me to sip on clear liquids the day of surgery.

Different doctors, different guidelines.

I had Water and ice chips in hospital, and was clear fluids from then on...

Mine will be the same because they do a test to see if there are leaks before they allow any liquids, etc.

It depends on how long they have you in the hospital too. So I was in for only overnight. I was allowed liquids first thing in the AM and then we waited to see if I had any leaks.

I had my surgery at 10am and wasn't allowed to have anything to drink until the following morning after an upper GI to confirm there were no leaks. They should have you on IV fluids though so you won't get dehydrated. Congratulations on your surgery [emoji1303]

Had my surgery at 11 am, no liquids or ice chips until the next day (late morning), after they did the leak test.

I had my surgery Wednesday morning. Was allowed ice chips immediately. Had leak test at 6:30pm and was allowed Water immediately after. Started Protein Shakes the next morning.

My surgery is Wednesday and my doc said the same thing. Nothing by mouth day of surgery and then ice chips and Water the next day. It depends on the doctor and their rules.

I was told it was just until they do the leak test. But I was allowed ice.

It depends, my surgeon did the leak test while I was still under, so I was allowed ice chips when I woke up and then clear liquids.

I had to wait till muy leak test the next day before I was even allowed ice chips. I was given mouth swabs to help and I kept lip balm on my lips. That made a huge difference.

I wasn't allowed to have Water or ice for more than 24 hours until after they did the leak test, but they gave me a little wet sponge to swab my dry lips and tongue.

Well I survived but honestly going over 24 hours without Water was the worst! After my swallow test they let me have room temperature liquids but I couldn't have any ice chips. But after I was able to drink I felt so much better. One night in the hospital and back home now and feeling good. That first day sucked but I can't believe how much better I feel now!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
