bandita 16 Posted September 6, 2012 I am 10 days out from my sleeve and doing good, today i felt a bit off and somewhat tired etc. But overall it has been a swift recovery. I have a question for anyone who is recently post op...how long does it take you to drink 8 ounces of Fluid? The reason i am asking is that i have been slowly increasi g the amount of fluid and decreasing the time i amm drinking it and finding that Clear Liquids seeem to be going down pretty quickly. I tried some applesauce today and my stomach had a little twinge cramp and then started making lots of noise and i wasnt sure if this was me overdoing it or just a normal series of events for diet advancement. After that applesauce i am a bit nervous about advancing to the pureed diet stage on monday. What kind pf experience was it and should any amt of pain cause me to stop and and go back to full liquids? I havent had any nausea or vomiting but a little bit of burping.

Frza 194 Posted September 7, 2012 I am 1 week out and concerned that liquids are going to down too fast. My post-op paperwork says not to consumer more than 2oz in a 15 min period. I think I'm drinking about 6-8 oz in 15 min. It all feels fine going down but I worried about breaking rules. Just wonder what the harm could be. I'm thirsty!

If I drink more than 2-3 oz in 15 min., I'm bent over in pain. You're saying you can drink an entire bottle of Water in less than 30 min? I would never get thirsty if I could do that.

washffpm 56 Posted September 7, 2012 I was sleeved on Aug. 27th and I can drink 10 oz. in 15-20 minutes. It will hurt a little for a few seconds if I go to fast but the discomfort does not last long. Sent from my iPhone using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
