Water is good for your mental health too. If you drink a gallon of water per day, you wont have time for other people's drama because you'll be too busy peeing. Stay hydrated my friends. lol :)🤣

Drinking Water is necessary and important, but such an amount can even harm the body.

Most surgical centers recommend a gallon of Water a day; it's not nearly enough to cause someone "harm".

A gallon is nearly four litres that is a lot of Water unless exercising intensively and/or living in a fairly hot climate.

From what I have seen in these forums for USA 64 ounces of fluids a day seem to be more the norm. 64 ounces is nearly two litres. Australia recommendation is generally two litres.

Apparently an adult with healthy kidneys can consume 20-28 liters of Water before they enter the danger zone, anywhere from 5-6 times the number you claim is "dangerous".

I didn't say anything was dangerous, I said its a lot, and I said I haven't seen anywhere on here aside from yourself who has ever said that bariatric surgeons recommend up to nearly four litres a day.

But please point me in the direction of anyone who has ever said they regularly drink 28 litres of fluids a day.

I never claimed anyone DOES drink that much, only that the four or so that you said was too much is perfectly safe. I apologize I didn't realize that you and the person upthread who said it was harmful are not the same person; maybe they'll see this too. Drink the amount you're comfortable with and so will I.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
