6 Days Post Op How Many Oz A Hour?



Recommended Posts

When I had my RNY back in July of 2013 I bought those bathroom paper cups at costco. I would measure out the amount that I should have but to tell you the truth right after your surgery if you are sipping your fluids every 5 or so minutes you should be ok. My Suregon told me ( after I was so very stressed) that my Protein Drinks also counted as my fluids. At first there is no way we are able to get in 64oz's of fluids. Just keep sipping and walking and then sip so more. It will get better each and every day. Good Luck

I am on my way home from my RNY yesterday and have been told drink 1oz of clear liquid every 15 minutes with a target of 48oz in 24 hours. The whole idea is to not over tax the new stomach. Time to sip on my Propel ????

Propel was my saving grace. I couldn't drink anything with a sweetener or crystal light or anything like that. Propel is a great choice w the Vitamins and electrolytes. Win. Win. Good luck. I was told anywhere from min. Of 60 oz to 80 oz per day.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
