Drinking too much????



Recommended Posts

I was banded on Oct. 9th. I won't know if I've lost any weight until Wed. when I see my Doctor. I am worried that I'm drinking too much. Is that possible? I don't want to stretch the new pouch they created. Does the 2-4 oz rule apply to liquids too? I can drink an entire can of Slimfast (11 oz) with no problem. Is this ok? How many should I drink a day? Please help!!!!

I think you should probably ask your doc just to be safe. But I would think as long as your not chugging them or gulping them your ok.

You do not have any restriction right now . The first 6 weeks post op is about healing not loosing weight as much . You need to make sure you stay hydrated. I remember drinking pretty much all day long the first 2 weeks post op . So i would think your ok. Just double check with your doc they are all different

I dont think so either. I remember feeling very deydrated post op and was always drinking too. however I was not worried about streching my pouch.

My doc did tell me to drink drink drink.

I think a good rule of thumb is anytime your worried about something call your doc and make sure. espically since everyone's doc has such different advice .

I try not to say " that is ok" because my doc might have different advice .

Your doc would rather you call and ask then not .

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
