Not to change the subject or anything... But am I the only one who never heard of this 30ml thing? I never had to measure anything... but both of my friends who had surgery (one in York, one in Pittsburgh) had to measure out 30ml and drink that every 15 minutes... I never measured, no one asked me if I even drank anything the entire time I was in the hospital!

Angie, for both of my surgeries (banded in 2006 and now sleeved almost 3 weeks ago) the doc had me drink the little medicine cups of liquid. I forget how much they hold, but it's like what comes with cough syrups, etc. Maybe they hold 30 ml LOL I never paid attention. They just told me to drink a certain number of them every 2 hours.
