Raynbolite 302 Posted October 8, 2016 I don't think liquid will stretch anything...I am at week 9 and drinking normally. Now eating food too fast or too much is a problem. Sent from my XT1650 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jen-2+1 131 Posted October 8, 2016 My surgery was 9/26 and it takes me about 15 minutes to drink 4oz. My plan said to start with four oz an hour and I have just kept with that. Now I am taking about an hour and 15 to drink a Premier Protein shake.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted October 8, 2016 How much liquid/water can you drink after being sleeved? @@mari12282 looks like you and @@Raynbolite @@Jen-2+1 are all newbies PO many people have trouble drinking water/protein shakes you must force/push yourself to drink drink slowly, sips here and there do add up if you don't drink enough you might become dehydrated about 3 weeks PO, i was dehydrated it was awful - they had to fill me with fluids/IV spent the night at the hospital i'll always remember the date it was Valentines Day!!! asap you can/should/must drink minimum 64 oz the more you drink the better try drinking Water at room temperature crystal light is also a good alternative to water drinking to your health good luck kathy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raynbolite 302 Posted October 8, 2016 By normally drinking, I able able to drink more Water now, bigger gulps than before. I hit my Fluid goals with little issue. I just make sure to stop drinking 15min before a meal and 30 min after. Sent from my XT1650 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
