Happy Stylist 86 Posted May 1, 2022 I know we are supposed to get 64oz or more if fluids. But I feel like I'm either drinking fluids or eating popsicles all day long. Is this normal? Am I stretching my stomach out? Seems like I'm drinking a lot of Water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Max 20-30 minutes. But yea you should be taking sips throughout the day. For me from my surgeon for my Water intake is suppose to be a minimum of 48oz. and i struggle to get to that. 1 summerseeker reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShoppGirl 5,023 Posted May 1, 2022 If it Feels like you are working at fluids all day then you are doing it right. You are taking small sips all day long vs guzzling large amounts a few times a day. You will get used to it. It just takes a bit of time. 1 SleeveToBypass2023 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Happy Stylist 86 Posted May 1, 2022 Ok thanks. I'm definitely not struggling to get in my fluids 🤦♀️ But I am sipping all day long. 1 kcuster83 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kcuster83 1,504 Posted May 2, 2022 It gets better, I am 6 weeks post op and I can drink 16 oz in about 30-40 minutes now. Regardless, it still feels like I am eating and drinking all day. And, I am only eating 3 meals, sometimes a small snack like a babybell or string cheese to increase my Protein. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
