This is my third day with the LAP-BAND®. Just trying to make sure i take in enough fluids. Anyone have any pointers on how much is enough. I havent really reached the point of feeling full and I don't feel like getting sick. Any info would help. Thanks.

You should consume a shot glass full of fluids every 15 minutes. 64 oz's of fluids a day. About 4 oz every hour.

Congratulations on your surgery.

Thanks for the info. I am still trying to find the best way to get my fluids. I am gonna do that shot glass trick. I thought I had everything down before i had the surgery but when it was all done it all kinda flew outta the window. I am glad I found this site. Nice to be able to ask questions and get answers from people that have had the procedure.

My Dr. gave me a sippy cup after surgery and told me to use it for the first week. It was a 6 oz cup I think. He said one sip from it about every 15 min. It was to help keep the size of sips small enough not to fill full so fast. Try that it may help.
