3 days out im not getting enough H2O



Recommended Posts

Hi I had surgery this Monday 3/31/14. I'm only drinking half a water bottle is this normal? I don't want to get dehydrated. Any advice? I'm taking a sip every 7 minutes. I feel like I'm not meeting the Expectations yet.

You aren't meeting expectations....it takes a while so just keep at it. I'm 7 weeks out and I'm still not meeting my Water intake levels. It's a process we all have to work at so don't stress too much. It will come.

Hey my surgery was 3/31 as well. I'm taking in about 40 oz of water a day. I try to get in 4 oz every hour. I use a small cup which helps a bit. I was told by the nurse that is starts off very difficult to get the water in which is why they fill you up with IV fluids. Good luck to you!

I was told to take a drink every 15 min of room temp Water it goes down better and eat at least 1-2 sf popsicles an hour

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
