I seem to be doing really good on fluid intake.

My first day home was hard and I only managed about 32oz. But yesterday I was able to get close to 48.

Today I think I may get close to 64oz (this includes 2 protein shakes and water)

But this has me a little freaked out. Am I drinking too much? It seems everyone else this far out is only getting 20-30 oz in.

I am scared I'm going to hurt my staple line. But I never have pain sometimes a little discomfort from gas coming back up.

I noticed a huge difference when i started my acid reducer I'm wondering if that is what has helped.

@dreamingofasleeve you’re actually doing really well getting your liquids in so early on, it’s definitely going to prevent dehydration and help with weight loss, I was having a hard time getting 64 oz in that early on so I’m impressed...keep doing what you’re doing and you will be a success...drink more if you can.

Congratulations on your surgery and keep up the good work ?

I was sleeved on 11/20 and I'm able to sip much more than 64oz of fluids. I think it's good to be well hydrated.

My program wanted 64 oz plus ASAP. It sounds like you’re doing great!

No. You are not drinking too much, you cannot compare yourself to others as each surgery is 100% unique from the next. Even twins having the exact same surgery by the exact same doctor on the exact same day would not experience the same post-op "issues".

You sound like you are doing good, why does everyone get concerned when they are doing good?

That is amazing!

I was just scared maybe that I was pushing too hard.
I know everyone is different and I am very glad fluids are going good. Just didn't want to hurt anything.
I never feel pain it push it to that point. I guess I was just expecting it to be harder!

I know it seems dumb to be worried about doing good. But I was just concerned cause I hadn't seen anyone else doing as good. Until I posted here of course.
I'm happy it's going well don't get me wrong. I know everyone is different. It just seemed too good to be true.

I had the same concerns. It's not so much "concerned when they are doing good". For me, it was HAMMERED into me that I'd struggle with liquids and day one I was drinking water in amounts I could before surgery. So the questions become "Am I doing well or am I missing restriction I'm supposed to have."
