Yes I did not get even that much Fluid in the first few days. All I can say is just keep sipping. As you heal you will get more in. Good luck in your journey

I've found if I stand up then take a drink and walk around for a minute or so (bathroon break, empty dishwasher,etc) that gravity is my friend!

It took me about a week to be able to take 32oz, at 2 weeks out I was managing 64oz. At 8 weeks I get 64oz plus some. You WILL get there :)

      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.
