Struggling To Get Fluid In



Recommended Posts

I am 6 days post-op and am really struggling to get the 64 ounces of Fluid in daily. I am just full all the time. I am getting about 40 ounces in, but definitely need that additional 24 ounces in.

Any suggestions from the veterans?

I don't consider myself a vet but can tell you I am 6 weeks out now and find it almost impossible to get in more than 40. If I wanted to get up several times a night and right now I consider my sleep more important, I could probably do it!

Congrats on being sleeved

at 6 days out, IMO drinking 40 oz is good

many people have trouble getting in there fluids this early in the game

continue to drink as much as your tummy allows, take small sips- your intake will improve

good luck

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
