64 oz of water???? scheduled eating times?



Recommended Posts

Can someone please tell me how they can get 64 oz of Water a day? When and how do you do that? I take a few sips and then I feel full or I feel it start to come up....what about using a straw? Or a water bottle and sip it? doesn't that cause air in the stomach??

Desperate to get 64 oz of water a day in....so far I'm lucky if I get 12 oz....Advice please!!

Eating times? Does anyone have scheduled eating and drinking times....anything? Please help!!

Once the swelling goes down you should be able to drink a lot more then you do right now.

Then comes the hunger and drinking will help (they say it helps, I've never been convinced) with the hunger.

I have a desk job and drink about 80oz a day.

I had trouble getting all my Water down for the first couple weeks after surgery. Once you start exercising it gets easier because you get more thirst. Hang in there, it will happen.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
