4 days post-op and barely drinking

[Old2NewMe 73]

I can only get in a 16oz bottle in an entire day and that's it! Is this normal?

That's not enough, Water should pass right through. Maybe you just don't want to drink, it happens...some people get so turned off everything they just don't want to drink.

this is dangerous! If you don't get enough liquids you will get dehydrated and will end up back in the hospital. Are you counting all of your liquids including Protein Shakes and Jello, etc?

I'm struggling too. Hoping to get more in today than yeasterday. Yesterday was day one post sleeve and I only got 16 oz down.

today I've done 8 oz so far plus 3 oz Bone Broth plus almost half of my Protein Drink which is powder mixed only with Water.

I was told to target 40 - 60oz fluids in the first week. By week two, I needed to be consistently getting 60oz. If you don't dramatically increase the intake tomorrow, call the doctor...dehydration is dangerous.

Okay thank you. It hurts to drink

My NUT says 64 oz. is the goal (including Protein shakes), but 40 oz. will keep you out of the hospital.

Warm tea went down easiest the first week for me. Maybe try making some herbal tea.. just be extra certain it isn't the least bit too hot. Don't want to scald your baby tummy!
