Bigpants 30 Posted November 12, 2018 Hi everyone I’m new here I am 5 days post op and feeling all the usual surgery and gas pain but overall feel good I found this forum through searching a question on google (one of many I’m sure ) my question is When I drink say 4oz of Water, or broth when is the appropriate time to drink more, how long does it take to pass ? i don’t think I have over taking fluids yet what are some symptoms I would have if I did ? pain? nausea? 1 FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I was given one of those medicine measuring cups like those that come with kids meds and told to drink one of those every 15 if I was having a hard time drinking. Other than that I was told to drink as much fluids I can handle. At the beginning, they told me fluids were more important than actually getting the Protein in. I drink plenty of fluids now when in the beginning I stay dehydrated and I was terrified that's how it was going to be forever. I was the one before surgery that could drink on a 20oz coke all day long. 2 GreenTealael and FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
