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

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

I had bad diarrhea days 3 and 4 after surgery. I also blamed the protein shakes but my surgeon said sometimes it's happens when things are waking up and starting to work again. But, too much sugar free stuff can do it to you for sure. I can't stand artificial sweeteners so I have always avoided them but they contain something called sugar alcohol which upsets tummies sometimes.

You newbies should all take it easy. I did nothing but short walks in the house for the first two weeks. You are recovering from major surgery and getting almost no calories in. Give yourselves time to heal.

As far as water goes I never met those goals. I still don't truth be told. As others have said when you are early out the protein shakes count as fluid. Just do the best you can sipping water between shakes. If you are peeing a lot, and it's light in color, you're fine.

i got sleeved 9/28 and can barely dink 330 cc.. but i hang in there

Water was a challenge, just keep with small sips not out of staw or bottle because you swallow air with then, bit sips every 3-5 min. I had to do room temp. Or warm water because cold hurt for first 2 weeks

This is only 11oz. You need to be getting a minimum of 35-40oz (1200cc) a day or you WILL be getting severely dehydrated. It only takes 2 days to become dehydrated, so you may already be there. You may need to go somewhere to get fluids in an IV.
