Bigjedda 0 Posted June 22, 2008 HI guys Well i had my surgery last Thursday (Its Sunday now) so thats 3.5 days.. Im ok, just a little sore at the port site and get sore standing up for long periods... Things im not sure about are - Im not really drinking much as im not thirsty. I had a milk drink tonight and could only drink about 100mls before i was uncomfortable!! It takes me an hour to drink a small V8 box. Is this normal? I try to sip Powerade all day to keep me hydrated. I havent tried anything but, powerade, up and go drinks, and V8. Im scared to drink to much - is this normal?

kansascase 0 Posted June 22, 2008 Any liquid that you consume should pass through your pouch quickly. When you drank the milk - the "uncomfortableness" didn't last long, did it? I was told to meal only 2-4 ounces per meal, three times a day. Also, you need the Protein. I wasn't afraid of getting too much in the pouch as I ate quite small meals and very slowly. I know the pouch thing is new to your body and your mind. I think you will feel more like yourself as time passes. I had to "make peace" with my band.
