I am 10 days out of surgery and I am drinking about 80-90oz of Water a day. How much water are you able to keep down after surgery?

I didn't do all Water, but a combination of water, gatorade zero, and sugar-free popsicles, getting about the same amount in total as you

Dang, you're doing great! I got about 64oz of Water when I was 10 days out.

That's still good I met a few other patients that were drinking only half of what you drank.

That's awesome! I am 10 days after surgery and I can't get that much Water down - getting close though. I sip and sip all day but it's still a challenge for me.

Oh it is a challenge, I'm not perfect myself and I'm nearly 7 months. But I remind myself people do better on Fluid drive, dehydration really makes your pains and sorrow worse, I honestly do the 2 oz every 15 route, my pouch Ms Precious Pouch is a cranky taskmistress, the reason I'm awake and posting is she is not letting me sleep.. I simply am praying she doesn't want to engage in delayed vomiting or something. I'm still on Zofran, as well as Dexilent (PPI) and Carafate to heal my ulcers. I am not an average run- of- the-mill RnYer, but it is my Journey and I will get my final victory like everybody else, in the meantime It Is What It Is! Lived too long to cry about it, all my tears and fears have dried up, and I am still a tough old broad who is in it to Win it! Hey, set your mind to being a🌈 success and you will be!👈😜👉

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
