I’ve been out of surgery since 8/28, and I am stil struggling with Fluid.. any suggestion

[MargoCL 677]

Can you elaborate, struggling how?
How much are you currently consuming?

I had surgery on 8/20 and I keep a 20oz cup with me for my 30 min drive to work. I save to drink to/from work.

I keep a 20oz cup at work which I fill twice and drink within 8 hrs. This does not include my Decaf coffee or teas.

I also drink another 20-40 oz after work at home

[crivera7777 6]

I might have 20 to 30 oz that’s all

Is it an issue with remembering? Is it painful to consume? Does it make you nauseous? What specifically is holding you back from consuming what you are supposed to?

[crivera7777 6]

No it doesn’t make me nauseous is just trying to just drink it

[MargoCL 677]

It requires a conscious effort for you to drink your fluids. Staying hydrated will not happen on it's own.
There are bariatric apps that can remind you to drink Water, water drinking apps to remind you.

The effort comes from you, if you do not have a medical reason for not getting your fluids, then you need to make a conscious one

I wonder if you might be grazing with your food. Only allow 20 min to eat your meal. Your snack if necessary shouldn’t be less than 2 hrs. Allow 30 min after your meal to start on your fluids and sip sip. Remember your shake counts as Fluid and milk as well. If you wait 4 hrs between meals (no longer) you can work on the fluids. Good luck 🤗🤗
