how much fluid were you taking in the week after op?

This is probably just paranoia, but it seems weird that I can drink 8oz worth of broth in just over an hour. I just has surgery Monday. Is it like that just because it is liquid and moving through my pouch fast?

I was able to take in quite a bit of broth when I was still in the hospital. I don't know if it was 8 ozs but I would finish my bowl of broth bfor I got the next meal. But the funny part is I still can't take that much Water in that amount of time.

The morning after surgery I had a dye test on my pouch to determine if it was functioning correctly.

I was given 2 oz of liquid and tried sipping it slowly. The tech got upset and said, your pouch isn't full, look at the screen. Sure enough, the liquid was emptying from my stomach at a good rate, but I felt stuffed after less than half.

liquids will pass right through. I think some people will feel full and others won't.

My doctor said not to drink more than 8oz in an hour.
