Surgery tuesday, 9/26. Today Thursday 9/28 cannot get 64 ounces water in yet. Maybe 45. Am i expecting too much too early? Thanks

As long as you are getting over 40oz and are peeing 3-4 times a day or more, then you are doing fine and just keep trying.

I found it easier to meet my goals by drinking out of pint jars. Sip sip sip, but 4 if those jars is 64 oz.

Of course if you start getting dizzy or otherwise feel bad, feel free to contact your team.

Thank you. I am peeing a million times a day, lol. I feel ok just a bit weak but guess is ok since surgery 2 day ago.

Yeah.. weakness lasts surprisingly long.

Your body is still processing the IV fluids too, so all that peeing is good.

Sounds like you are doing just fine...

I'm a week in and still finding it a bit difficult to get 64oz in [emoji29]

Just sip all day and you will be fine. Your protein drinks are fluids and they count too, so if between protein drinks and water you are hitting 64, you are fine.

Tomorrow I go for my follow-up appointment hopefully he will tell me I can move on to stage 2

Thanks for your help !!

For my first followup (day 4), I was expecting a lecture because I was only getting about 50oz. My surgeon was like
"really? That's great!".

Best wishes for stage 2!

I'm 5 weeks out and still can't get all my water in. Just keep sipping is what my MD told me to do.

Hi all. Surgery Tues 9/26 so 4 days out. Still trouble getting 64 fluid in. 45-50 yes. Started protein shakes today and had diarreah. Don't know if is related. More pain in incision area today and more weak than yestrday. Not able to do full half hour walk but I did get few little walks in. Tire easily. Am going to Irish festival tomorrow to watch and enjoy. Will of course bring my water, protein and walk often. All in all think I'm doing well and looking forward. All of your posts have been so helpful. Thanks for sharing them and good luck everyone as we tread and skip through this exciting journey.

My doctor told me that 64 oz of fluid included the protein shakes so he had me doing my to 30 gram protein shakes which were 11 ounces each and then the rest in water take really small sips like every 3 to 5 minutes really really small ones and just do it all day and you should be able to get the water in and try it kind of warm cold water I couldn't tolerate warm water I did great with room temperature

You will get it. I had my surgery on the 11th and I'm just getting all my water down throughout the day.

You’re doing excellent. I was able to walk fine 10 days after my surgery. And yes some protein shakes will give you diarrhea.
If the festival is sitting I think you’ll be fine.
4 days after my surgery if you mentioned to me going out I may had kill you LOL

Thanks so much for your responses and insights. Very helpful !! Read something last nite that made me think. I did have a Luigis no sugar added ice yesterday and saw some posts about sugar causing diarreah. Was thinking the ice was sugar free but was only no sugar added with 70 calories and 1 gram of sugar but 20 gram carbs. So I'm wondering now was the protein? the ice? or just day 4 after major intestinal surgery. Lol Well time will tell. Hope you are all having a wonderful day
