i am 4 days post op and im having trouble drinking the 64 ozs of liquids. I start drinking and get full after a few sips, if I keep drinking I get nauseous. any tips?

Unfortunately you are stil healing and it will be some time before some can drink all 64 oz. Trying all day is the only way and don't try and sip any Water close to the time you drank a Protein drink. The Protein Drink gives you a temporary full feeling and nobody drinks much Water. Try and do what the doctors want us all the do, after eating a meal (yes, Protein Drinks included) after 30-60 minutes depending on your doctor, sip the water. The pouch is new on the band and healing will take several weeks. I stayed on liquids close to 30 days after surgery to help the pouch heal better. Lots of Protein shakes, SF Jello, SF popsicles. Lots of broths with sprinkled dried onions to give it additional flavors.

Best wishe and keep the faith.

It took me about 2 weeks before I could get all my Water down. Your stomach is still swollen and you will have a hard time until the swelling goes down. Just keep sipping. You'll be fine. You're body knows you can't take in as much now, so don't worry about it. Just drink what you can.

I just had surgery Tuesday then ended up in the hospital due to some swelling and nausea with vomiting. Headed home now and my diet was advanced to full liquids. I could use some ideas for dinner. I'm hungry!

Were In the same boat same thing happened to me I am learning I can tolerate yogurt runny cream of wheat sf Popsicles sf Jello and Protein shake. I can tolerate Soup right now it gets me gagging like today which I threw up and that started acid reflux and the hiccups/burps. Everyday is a learning process. Best wishes
