HELP..I think I overdid it with the liquids

GeorgieGirl1957 · August 17, 2010

I am on clears and have NO problem at all getting them down. And in this desert I am thirsty all the time. So sip sip sip is no problem for me. Is it possible to overdo it on clears? I am feeling like my stomach is irritated. So I am backing off the liqs. Anything else I should do?

I think you will be fine my nut said getting more than 64 is good especially if you are outside at all.

are you on an acid reducer it could be iritated because you are not giving it anything to break down and it keeps producing acid. this is just a guess though

Actually I was very worried because I wasn't aware of the 3 ounces in 20 mins. rule my doctor has until I came home and read the post op instructions. My bad. Anyway, if you saw my other 3 day post op thread, I had to go back to Mexico for treatment of a complication. While I was there the doctor checked my sleeve through fluoroscopy and it was perfect.

Fluids are going down well, but I being more careful to SLOW IT DOWN now. Even bought myself a timer as advised by a fellow sleeve traveler. (THANKS!!) I have always been a chugger, not a sipper. That is taking some training to change my evil ways. My biggest fear throughout all of this is how I am going to learn to eat and drink slowly. My daughter says I always Hoover my food. She's right....(sigh).

I have no buyer's remorse, no vomiting, no hunger, and no regrets!!! YAY!!! And except for the little lung adventure, I am feeling great. And lost 11 lbs since surgery, and 40 lbs pre-op.
