I had my sleeve procedure yesterday. I would like to find out approximately how much you were able to drink at one time?

I have only managed to get in 10 oz of Water, 3 oz of broth and 3 sips of Protein Shake for the whole day. Is that normal? My tummy is grumbling a lot but I'm scared to take in too much and get sick.

Focus on the hydration newly post op. That's the biggest issue. 60 oz per day. Did your team not provide post op drinking plan?

Yeah. It took me a few weeks to be able to drink decently. When I went to my 6 week follow up they kept dating you need to drink more and I remember how hard it was. Now at like 9 weeks I can chug about a third of a water bottle. It feels good. Just keep trying your hardest and carry Water with you all day.

By day 3 I was getting my 64oz. My plan had us on Clear Liquids the first week so we didn't fill up on Protein while sorting out the Fluid issue. Worked perfectly for me.

My doc said to shoot for 64oz a day but I wanted to know how much you were actually able to drink. Every little sip is like a hammer to the stomach..

I literally drank from a table spoon for 2 days.

Warm (not too hot) herbal tea went down nicely those first days. Temperature does make a difference.

On day 1 I probably had 1 oz. Day 2 it was 10 oz. Yesterday was day 3 and I think I got up to 30 oz. My nurses said to aim for 32 at first. Last night was the first time it didn't hurt and it felt like I could drink decent sized sips. I just try to increase liquids each day. My lips aren't dry so this seems to be fine, although I know I need to get to 64 soon.

I'm fighting with fluids too. Doc wants 10 1oz cups per hour.... yesterday I maybe got a total of 30oz of liquid in. Today is day 3 post op for me. I'm scared of dehydration but it still hurts to drink. Sip sip sip

      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.
