Hello ladies and gents. Wondering how much Fluid u guys could drink a day after surgery. My tummy hurts and I only drank 14 Oz in 24 hours. Plus I have hiccups after 1 very small sip of Water. Insight needed. I'm about to tell my nurse after they change shifts. Just thought I'd ask.

If u fail to plan, u plan to fail.

Not sure what I was getting in the day after surgery, but no one was concerned because I was so loaded with IV fluids at that point. I know it was day 5 before I was up to 60oz. But believe me, it took a conscious effort to sip all day long. I had a bottle by my bed that I started the moment I opened my eyes and didn't stop until I fell asleep each night. If I missed sipping for even one hour out of the day it was difficult to catch up.

And if you are having a hard time, try different things. For me, I couldn't tolerate plain Water for about 4 months and warm stuff (broth and herbal tea) went down easier. Good luck!

I was only able to drink about 6 oz total the two days I was in the hospital. Each tiny little sip hurt so much. But by my second day home, it had gotten much better, and I've been able to get in at least 64 oz since then (I'm on day 6 right now). Using a straw once I got home helped a lot. I know some programs frown on them, but, honestly, I think I take in more air when I am sipping than when I use a straw.

Finding good temperatures also helped. My sleeve likes things either ice cold or piping hot, but anything in between and I can't do it.

So 14 oz in 24 hours seems like a great start to me, and it should only get easier from here on out.

My first day home was yesterday, I only got in about 24 oz of water/protein. Hoping to do better each day until I hit the required 64 oz. I have heard that it may take a few days to get there. Good luck to you! :)

I found myself in the strange predicament of being able to drink as much as I wanted to - a liter (a quarter gallon for you US folks) in fifteen minutes was no problem. I'm having the same experience now, 10 days after surgery.

Had my surgery on 5/3, day after I could drink without getting full, every once and a while I would get a burp or tight pain in my stomach kinda felt like a hunger pain. But all fluids would stay down.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
