Unsure. I've looked through the book they gave me. My main focus is Protein and Water. I'm just unsure. Had surgery Monday stage 1 til I left hospital. Stage 2 now and on 3 by next Monday seems so fast. I managed a yogurt and a Protein shake in a day.

My dietician said try to get 64oz a day (will take about a week of working towards that goal to accomplish it). Then, she also said try to break it down and do 4-5 ounces per hour (that will get you close to 64oz if you figure that you're awake for about 14 hours out of the day, minus the time you're eating or drinking your protein shakes).

Right after surgery, your body is in a major heal mode and it is common not to be able to meet your Fluid requirements. But just keep working towards that goal and after a few weeks you should be able to meet it.

The Fluid requirement I was given was 64-80 ounces of fluids daily.

The fluid requirement is met by a combination. It is not only the Water that you drink each day. But also the Water you drink when you take your Vitamins and medicine. It is the milk you drink. It is the fluids content of the Protein shakes. It is the water component of the Soups you take. It is met by flavored water such as Crystal Light. It is met by sugar free popsicles. It is met by tea and Decaf coffee. It is a combination of all the fluids that you consume during the day.

My instructions for my post hospital phase (full liquid) is a MINIMUM of 16 oz per day. The goal is up to 64 oz of NON-caloric fluids. So you don't count Protein or any other fluids. Just non-calorie fluids.

My Protein goal is 60-80 grams per day. I am hoping I can get to the bottom of that limit today. I have a variety of Proteins available.

The instructions for drinking Water are 2 ounces per 15 minutes so the maximum would be 8 oz. per hour. I am not making it that fast yet evey hour. Six oz, yes, if not drinking protein.

I'm not drinking enough I don't think about 25oz day. Full liquids seem to set better.

I have to dilute my shakes 50/50 with skim milk so that helps. Each shakes ends up being 22 oz and each ice cube I use is another ounce. I usually turn each shake into 3 servings with 3 ice cubes each so that's 62 ounces just from the shakes.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
