How much Liquid?

[queen2881]

Hello all! I was banded on 4/3 and was wondering just how many calories/liquids we should be drinking during our first week post-op. I think I have been around 800 liquid calories for the first few days, is this ok? Should I be watching how much sugar I'm taking in? thanks for your help..

I don't think I have even been getting 800 cals, but I had a hard time keeping my liquids down. Dr. Miranda told us not to worry about sugar on our liquid diet, but I have been anyway. I just don't want to drink unnecessary calories.

I think 800 calories should be fine for the first week, I wouldn't continue that much past a week because that's when your body goes into starvation mode and then it will hold on to every calorie you consume and your weight loss will stall!!
