Am I drinking too fast?



Recommended Posts

I am 5 days post op and still having 1 oz every 15 minutes. I sip it as slow as I possibly can but I'm done within the first 3 minutes. Should it take me 15 minutes to sip the one oz or should I sip slowly and start sipping again in 15 minutes? Depending on the beverage sometimes my stomach gets really upset. Help please!

Everyone's post-surgery instructions are different...

I'd assume that you should be sipping slower(longer breaks between sips) and therefore making your 1oz last longer than 3 minutes...

But then, I'm not your surgeon/nutritionist...

Your best bet would be to ask them...

Maybe give it a day or so, gather a few questions (you'll have some), and call them once with a few queries rather than a few times with one question each time..

Good luck to you @@Ilovecats1985

And welcome to sleevehood...

Thank you! I was thinking is should be lasting longer than 3 minutes.
