Hi! I’m a newbie. I just had the gastric sleeve 5 days ago. First couple were rough. I would get nauseated very easy. After the first two days that went away I feel really good. Beside of course you surgery discomfort. My question is…Is it normal to be able to drink little sips all day long without getting sick or full. I have no trouble getting in 64+ ounces a day. I’m concerned I’m drinking too much.
Am I drinking to much.

Thank you!
Hi Tray & welcome. I'm not sure if there is such a thing as "normal" bc we all start at so many different places when having WLS. I had gastric bypass, and I was drinking 64 oz of water daily within 3 days of surgery. This likely was due to my years long water drinking habit. I constantly crave water, and my biggest challenge is waiting 30 min before, during, & after eating to drink. Good luck on your journey. You've already made great progress.
Thank you!! I was concerned about that before surgery. I am like you. I drink a lot of water all day. I was worried about waiting the 30 min too. I am not there yet, but will be. That is something I will need to work on.

Hello Tray and welcome. I agree with everyone else. I was drinking 64oz no problem before I ever came home from the hospital, which is why they let me leave early. I had lot of little "but wait .. I was warned I wouldn't be able to .." moments. If you feel good, you're healing up good and that is great news. Never worry about doing well!
