Trust me, you won't drink too much. You want to stay hydrated, that will help you heal faster. Hang in there and welcome to the wls family ;)

Initially you do have to take small sips but it will get better...take small sips and take them often...keep Water in your hand, it helps!

At 1 day post op I could barely drink anything because I would get really bad spasming/burping/heartburn. But now I'm on day 3 post op and am able to get almost all 64oz down. You have to push yourself and keep sipping - for me, the more I sipped (even though it hurt) the better I ultimately felt. Keep pushing yourself, but know that it gets better with time! Good luck!!
