Hi everyone!

So this may be a dumb question.

I was just sleeved on Tuesday (6/26), I was just wondering can you drink too much Water at a time? I only take little sips, but I can take a lot of them. I never get that feeling I drank too much/full or pain? I never have. I can drink a big glass (~40oz) of Water in 2-3 hours and just want to make sure that is ok.

Thanks!

My program recommends 4-8 oz/hour, and then increasing as you find comfortable. My understanding is that if I'm not feeling uncomfortable/nauseous, then its ok. :)

I was instructed to NOT drink more than 2 ounces or 1/4 cup every 15 minutes. I was also told to TRY to drink at least 32 ounces of fluids (including water) per day.

Hope this helps!

I was told it basically is as much as you can drink without feeling full. Your tummy will definitely tell you if its keeping the Water and filling up. The liquid basically moves right thru.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
