64 oz of fluids



Recommended Posts

How far post op are you? It is difficult to get that amount in at first, but it is doable. You just have to constantly sip all day.

I had a really hard time at first too and I didn't nearly get even 12oz down it would feel like a lump in my throat every time I would take a sip I'm only 12 days post op now and am now able to get all my liquid in most of the time and able to take a normal drink it'll get easier every day

Its definitely a challenge for me as well. I am 11 days post op. I can drink my Protein Shakes easier than Water.

I’m almost 3 days post op. I’m having problems too. I made
popsicles while on pre-op diet out of my Protein Water but they are only 4 oz a piece and I only could get two down yesterday.

It gets easier! I've found that if I add something to my Water (crystal light, etc) I can drink it much easier. This was a weird development for me because I've always liked water & been a big water drinker. But hey....whatever works!

        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!!
