Hey! I'm 8 days post op, and I've been able to drink Water like I used to. I can have multiple sips at a time with no pain or anything. And cold water taste sooooooo good to me! Is this normal?

Can anyone else drink water like this?

PS I had the Bypass.

Some people have more swelling than others and it takes them longer to drink Water. You healed quickly

Totally normal. I was able to drink without issue by day 4. By two weeks, I could gulp Water, drinking as much as I want.

I just celebrated reaching four weeks post RNY. I was heavily restricted to 1 oz. each 15 minutes for the first 10 days, however, after that, I have had absolutely no problem consuming a high volume of liquids. I try to base my water/liquid intake on proper hydration levels adjusted to my gender, age, height and weight and by doing that my ultimate target is over double the much trumpted 64 oz target. There are numerous hydration calculators available online.

Hi all. Just had my bypass on Monday morning 10/17. I'm checking my Water intake log. I know I should be drink 64 oz per day but it seems I doing just about half with Water, crystal lite, Powerade and Popsicle. I feel really bloated and minimal pain. Should I be worry?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
