coolnessa22 26 Posted April 23, 2013 Ok so I am 8 days post op and all I feel I am doing is drinking Water. I know we have to drink 64oz a day and I probably could do that but get too darn full so fast....I can only get one full water bottle in a day as of right now. And don't feel like eating because I'm full of water. Anybody going through the same thing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cherry 71 Posted April 23, 2013 Actually, I can do more than 64 oz of Water which kind of worries me. I am not really thirsty but do it because we are supposed to. My 1st follow up is Friday - I cannot wait. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrsLulu 69 Posted April 23, 2013 Shoot, I can do about 40oz Water and then a Protein Shake and some SF Jello, and a few bites of creamy Soup a day. I cannot possibly eat/drink anything else. I was told to take on another Protein shake and I have NO CLUE how that is going to happen. And after the vitamins... holy cow! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coolnessa22 26 Posted April 23, 2013 Well ladies then I am slacking... Cause I swear all I am getting in is one bottle of Water and maybe one or two popsicles a day! And after that I feel like its up too my throat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrsLulu 69 Posted April 23, 2013 I know it is tough, but I try to just keep drinking and then peeing. It seems to be really repetitive but that is the only way I could get it to work. After a couple days, it was a lot easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leahkayy 7 Posted April 23, 2013 Well ladies then I am slacking... Cause I swear all I am getting in is one bottle of Water and maybe one or two popsicles a day! And after that I feel like its up too my throat. I literally am going through the same thing. All I've been drinking is Water and probably only a bottle a day. I just know my stomach can't tolerate anything other than that. My doc said that was common so soon after surgery since your stomach is still pretty swollen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nienie 113 Posted April 23, 2013 Remember if you are taking in yogurt, pudding, Jello Soup those are all liquids too that can be counted toward your days goal... In the beginning you won't get it all in. In time it gets much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crazedteacher 38 Posted April 23, 2013 I am 4 weeks out and I still can't do 64 in. I had to go to ER and get IV fluids last week. It is just so hard. But, I am really starting to feel better. Keep your head up and stay positive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
