Hello,
This is my 1st post and i am 4 days post op (Lap rouen y). I am on the clear liquids diet for 2 days and then start full liquids (hot choco, pudding, and protein shakes,etc..). I am sipping on water or decaf unsweet tea all day. I do not really want any jello or popsicles. I am worried that I may be sippin too much as the pouch only holds 1 ounce. I assume the H2O passes through quickly . I was told at the hospital to drink 1 ounce every hour. Anyone else doing this and any suggestions?Also, i have gained weight wneh I came home from hospital. Is this normal.? When will I start losing?
P.S. I do not hav epic or ticker up yet as I am not tech savy. I will soon figure it out.
Thanks,
Amy

Hello and congradualations on your surgery I believe you are one of the lucky ones I have to be on my liquid diet for 10days. I to am in post op 6 days today.  I am not sure as to the weight gain maybe gas? As far as the tickers I did not know how to put one up as well I just clicked on someone elses ticker and it sent me to a web site designed for that. Good Luck!!

-1 oz an hour???? There is NO way you will meet your liquid requirement...I am having trouble getting water in (8days post) and I am drinking about 4 oz every hour...
-I gained too when I came home...you soon will start dropping
-as for the ticker go to the site-create a ticker (it walks you through)-and copy and paste the image.
