ThatCurvyGirl 19 Posted August 4, 2014 I had my surgery on 7/29 so I'm 5 days post-op! I've done pretty well over all but I'm having a hard time getting in all my Water and all my Protein in. It's tough to drink that much without overfilling! Any tips or tricks to get all this in? I've been a little light headed and I definitely don't want to get dehydrated! I hope everyone else is doing great with their surgeries as well???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RayJunCayJun 41 Posted August 4, 2014 Hopefully I can help, I am liquids part now and will be until tomorrow. First keep in mind you shouldn't drink over 4oz in 15 minutes for the first 4 weeks. Drink out of shot cups, if you don't have any go buy some, fill up 4 shot cups- Water, broth, Protein Water, poweraid etc., I didn't drink broth but once a day- prefered water, poweraid, Protein water. A shot cup is less then 2 oz so you'd be drinking about 1 1/2 oz with each cup Sip on one shot cup every 15 minuters, you'll have 4 down after an hour then start all over again. You should be constantly be sipping on something while you are awake. 2 *Lexie* and invalidID reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RayJunCayJun 41 Posted August 4, 2014 Don't ever force it. If it takes you an hour and half to get through the 4 cups so be it- that is 6oz give or take, as time goes you will be able to take bigger sips- don't ever gulp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
