How many shakes and/or Water should we get in? Is a 20oz water too much in 45-60 minutes or. 12oz shake in that time? I know liquid is important but I don't want to push. I am 11 days post op. thanks!

you should get 2 ounces per hour which makes 8 ounces. if you do Protein shake same thing and that counts as your Fluid intake as well

I do 1 shake 11 oz with in 60 minutes to 1 1/2 hrs. I'm comfortable with that. Some days I can't do it it takes me longer and sometimes quicker no pain all good I'm 13 days out

Thanks so much. It is hard to figure out all the new "normals ". Glad to have community to turn to. I can sip Water and realize by end of show bottle is gone. Just want to stay hydrated. I hear dehydration is quite yucky.

@littlepieface - My doctor recommended Milk of Magnesia which is the mildest way of getting things moving. It worked for me but truth be told I don't think there is much to move since I am on Clear Liquids.< /p>

I'm hungry. Post op 4 days. Liquids is hard as hell to stick too. I just want a big fat juicy hamburger!

I have my first appointment with my surgeon since my surgery tomorrow! I hope that they say that everything is good. When I was in the hospital last week the doctors allowed me to start puréed foods early. I should have started tomorrow. I got approval from one of the other doctors since my surgeon was out of town. That doctor works with her, but I just hope that didn't mess anything up! I did tell her when she checked up with my last Monday when I was still in the hospital but who know. I hope I can start soft food soon!

Yeah I didn't have a burger I had a tiny piece of chicken and ooh that scared the crap out of me and the pain . Not worth it. .i hope that feeling passes for you.I am two weeks out . Good luck Katmagirl . P.S don't eat it lol
