I had my sleeve procedure yesterday. I would like to find out approximately how much you were able to drink at one time?

I have only managed to get in 10 oz of Water, 3 oz of broth and 3 sips of Protein Shake for the whole day. Is that normal? My tummy is grumbling a lot but I'm scared to take in too much and get sick.

Focus on the hydration newly post op. That's the biggest issue. 60 oz per day. Did your team not provide post op drinking plan?

Yeah. It took me a few weeks to be able to drink decently. When I went to my 6 week follow up they kept dating you need to drink more and I remember how hard it was. Now at like 9 weeks I can chug about a third of a water bottle. It feels good. Just keep trying your hardest and carry Water with you all day.

By day 3 I was getting my 64oz. My plan had us on Clear Liquids the first week so we didn't fill up on Protein while sorting out the Fluid issue. Worked perfectly for me.

My doc said to shoot for 64oz a day but I wanted to know how much you were actually able to drink. Every little sip is like a hammer to the stomach..

I literally drank from a table spoon for 2 days.

Warm (not too hot) herbal tea went down nicely those first days. Temperature does make a difference.

On day 1 I probably had 1 oz. Day 2 it was 10 oz. Yesterday was day 3 and I think I got up to 30 oz. My nurses said to aim for 32 at first. Last night was the first time it didn't hurt and it felt like I could drink decent sized sips. I just try to increase liquids each day. My lips aren't dry so this seems to be fine, although I know I need to get to 64 soon.

I'm fighting with fluids too. Doc wants 10 1oz cups per hour.... yesterday I maybe got a total of 30oz of liquid in. Today is day 3 post op for me. I'm scared of dehydration but it still hurts to drink. Sip sip sip

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
