Post op- week one fluids

[lmarcus09 0]

Hi everyone! Does anyone know the best way to get ur fluids in to meet the 64 oz of Fluid. I had the gastric bypass on 8/8/19 and its hard trying to keep up and very overwhelming.

The first week or two it seems like we were doing nothing but sitting there with a shot glass (about an ounce) of Water sip, sip, sipping it all day, trying to get one in every five minutes (if things went down that smoothly, at least), or every ten minutes if five didn't work.

One every five minutes is twelve ounces per hour, or about five hours per day at that. Work that in between your meals and walkies, and your day is full.

Good luck!

I also had my surgery on 08/08/19 and am struggling with drinking the amount of Fluid that I have been told to even though I feel like I’m sipping all day
I have lost weight since my surgery which is only 2 weeks ago but it seems that it has stopped, I know you shouldn’t weigh yourself all the time but it’s very hard to not just jump in the scales purely as motivation
Very frustrated
