I have trouble drink enough Water now after my sleeve. Before my sleeve I could gulp a ton of water at a time. I am only 3weeks post op, but I would like to know how much water can I drink at a time? Can I drink 8oz in 3mins? What is the most amount I can drink in a short period of time

The secret is to keep "sipping" Water all day long so that at the end of the day you have had a decent amount! :)

It will get better by 5 or 6 weeks out. I was having the. Same problem and one day I got up and could just take a drink and drank a half glass in on gulp. My surgeon said some swelling must have gone down in order for me to do that.l

Best of luck

Hi I struggled in the beginning as well. I would say it was difficult to get in all the liquids for the first month. I am now 3 1/2 post op and get in about 74 oz of liquids a day. I have to sip all day. I can't gulp at all. If I take to big of a drink it's painful. Hope this helps .....Best Wishes

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
