How much liquid were you able to drink in the first few days after surgery?? My band info book says 100ml every hour in small amounts how much is that in oz??What was your experience??

I was just banded on Friday 2/18 and I can maybe only have 2 containers that have 20oz in them....It's not much but I have lost 5lbs since last thursday so I guess it's not all bad!!!

Okay I've done some bottle checking. I found that 6.75oz is equal to 200ml. That means you should be able to take in a little more than 3 oz in a 1 hour's time. Does this sound about right?

I might be over cautious, I just was wanting to make sure I'm getting in enough liquids.

I think 3oz/100ml an hour sounds about right. My book didn't say anyting about amounts but I realised quite quickly that I was feeling very bloated so slowed down considerably.

It's a good lesson to learn early on - listen to your body.

hmmm, I never payed attention to how much I would drink in those early days. When I would feel the urge to drink, I would - slowly.

I didn't pay attention to how much either, I just kept sipping all the time.

Same here..I just sipped and sipped and sipped, never paid any attention to volume

Thanks Guys for posting. I never thought about it till I saw in my info book 100 mg. I thought gosh lets not get so precise! Good Grief. So I'm glad to know that as long as I sip ..sip.. sip.. I'll do fine. I Just want to do every thing right and I don't think there is a such a thing as being to cautious!!

Jamie, those little sips here and there add up. It's very important to get enough fluids in and avoid dehydration.
