sleevedshereen 524 Posted November 1, 2017 The first week/two weeks I was probably getting around 35-45 oz of fluids...nowhere near 64oz 2 SeaSounders♥ and mcplu28 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShelbyMoore 84 Posted November 1, 2017 The first week it was very tough - couldn’t do it. I got so worried I phoned the surgical nurse and she told me to keep trying and do the best I can. She assured me it would get easer... and it did. I’m into my second week and I’m meeting my goal. Hang in there, it’ll get easier. 4 mcplu28, Newme69, Berry78 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LetGoJo 27 Posted November 2, 2017 At times especially if too soon after food my liquids can cause me to vomit. I try and have my main bulk liquids at late night after meals. I give food priority as I can’t seem to get much in 2 mcplu28 and SeaSounders♥ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sullie06 1,013 Posted November 2, 2017 Impossible to be honest. For about 2 weeks I couldn't get anywhere near my goal. All I did all day was sip, sip, sip and it was exhausting. It gets better. Now I can drink 32 ounces in a couple hours. 3 Sosewsue61, SeaSounders♥ and mcplu28 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

landondodd 1 Posted November 4, 2017 Hard, just take it slow and sip [emoji6] I'm 3 days post op (gastric sleeve) Today is the first day I think I will be able to meet my liquid requirements. No way it was happening the first two days. I learned the hard way trying to drink too fast.
