Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass |  a stupid post op question... I had the surgery 2 days ago...and I cannot even describe how full I get after like 3 sips. i feel like my stomach is going to burst and I get SO uncomfortable. There is NO WAY i am going to get 64 oz of fluid in each day...right now I am guessing I MAY get 20 oz in. I am worried I am gonna get dehydrated.... any advice??

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass     |  Yes... ...I remember. Don't concentrate on the BIG Picture...think about things on a 15min basis... Here's what I did...I kept a alarm clock...and a egg timer close by where I was "laid up".... I set it every 15 minutes...and it was my goal to drink a medicine tiny cup every 15 minutes....it's about 3 sips. (The medicine cup is one that goes with a peptobismol...or cough medicine...it's about 2oz. so you'd be getting about 8oz. of crystal light, water, or whatever else every hour....just take it slow...you'll be able to do it if you goal and use an egg timer....) OK?? My mom would say: "How do you eat an elephant??" "ONE BITE AT A TIME!!" You can do it!!
