okay i can seriously drink alot, im talking easy the 80-100 fl. oz with no problem, and i can eat like 4 sugar free popsicles, and i usually do 1 can of broth a day. Ummmm maybe thats way to much liquids, im not really sure. I have no problem with fluids, like ive read so many people do so im kinda worried. Anyone else out their that can drink alot of fluids no problemo?? im 5 days post op, no hunger yet, bowels working, just can pack away alot of fluid:confused:

I think you are fine... you don't have any restriction right now at all so you should be able to drink a lot.... that is great! Feel lucky as some can't. With fills, you may have more restriction and it may become more difficult.... I don't have any problems with liquids, I can chug them down quickly... I am 4 weeks post op.... but my issue is getting to a meal time and having forgot to drink, so I have to postpone my meal until I get down a glass or two... I am getting better though! I do get down 80-100 oz. no problem.

I also drink a very large quantity of liquids over the course of a day. I have done so daily since being banded. I drink at a minimum 64 oz of plain ole water daily. Add to that coffee, iced tea, and watered down diet grapefruit juice and i easily hit 120 oz of liquids daily. I pretty much always have a glass of something or a water bottle with me. The only exception to that is i do not drink with my meals or for at least an hour afterwards.

My dietician told me that post-op to drink as much as possible. It helps with the healing process and hunger. Your doing fine. Good luck with your journey.
