At this point how much liquid should I be able to drink? I'm not able to get down more than 30ml every 15 mins still. Thanks for your thoughts.

I could be wrong, but it seems the limiting factor for me at least is the esophageal spasm. (My tum also has this new trick of trying to burp while I'm swallowing, which makes matters worse.)

Warm liquids work better for me--in fact, I tend to forget and go too fast! But I'm not doing as well as you are when it comes to just water. Maybe try changing up your clear liquids?

Good luck--they did warn us this was hard work, they were just vague about it!

I am on day 10 post op... I think you are exactly where you’re supposed to be. I know personally I can’t get nearly as much liquid as they tell me to in. My dietitian even told me that I need to wake up early to start sipping to be able to get in enough liquids but in reality when you’re home things don’t always work out like that. my surgeon told me when I was leaving that if you get more than five or six fluid ounces in an hour you stretch out your stomach and it will make you sick. What helped me to be able to get more ounces in the hour and not every 15 minutes was to change my cups or what I was drinking out of. I find when I drink out of the Nutrisystem cups I can drink more.

Thank you
