How Am I Supposed To Get Liquid In?

[billyvmom 128]

I know I'm not getting in the amount of calories or Fluid I just can't hold it all. How did you get it all in?

I don't know how far post op you are but it will come in time. I am almost 12 weeks post op and I am just now being able to get my liquid in. I keep a Water bottle with me and drink as much as I can.

Good luck!

How much Fluid are you getting in 24 hrs?

I'm 4 days post op and am getting an ounce a hour and I'm using that with Protein Shake with Water. I know I'm dehydrated but can't get anymore in.

I've struggled due to complications. Don't focus on the big number now. I have to get 30 a day to avoid hydration via IV. Shoot for that.

Just keep bottle of Water with you and sip it ALL day long! Keep a sip in mouth at all times , you will be surprised! 4 days out I really wouldn't worry about Protein right now, remember , your small stomach is still swollen and healing ! So you quantity it holds will be even smaller! Water will not stretch it and it goes right through. Clear fluids is all you need to concentrate on! 40 ozs a day! Also I found that crunching on ice helped get more in! Good luck! It should get easier each day! When I was 4 days out , 64ozs was no problem!
