Guest guest Posted June 14, 2000 Report Share Posted June 14, 2000 << How much water should postOps be drinking daily? Can we eat crackers? Does anyone else burp a lot? >> Joanne...I'm six months post-op. Water made me nauseous (not uncommon, it turns out) and so I used my Juiceman to make veggie and fruit juice drinks. I drank orange juice, V8, Gatorade, etc. I nibbled a saltine or two after about a week. I don't burp often, but I must say...more than before I had the MGB!

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2000 Report Share Posted June 14, 2000 You can eat crackers. I don't know that there's any set amount of water we are " supposed " to drink, but I drink water a lot just because I'm thirsty a lot, so I have it around most of the time. I burp A LOT and also have to pass gas a lot, too. I especially burp a lot *while* I'm eating. > > In a message dated 6/14/00 8:19:13 PM, Joanne97617@a... writes: > > << How much water should postOps be drinking daily? > > Can we eat crackers? > > Does anyone else burp a lot? >> > > Joanne...I'm six months post-op.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2000 Report Share Posted June 15, 2000 Joanne, I had my surgery one week before you. I asked Dr.R how I would know whether I needed potassium or sodium, he said I was getting plenty of potassium from the juices and if I felt weak I needed salt. He asked if I had tried any saltines. I hadn't. I couldn't wait to try it then but was only able to eat 1 saltine. After just drinking 1 saltine was filling. Yes, I burp a lot, always after eating and then when I recline it becomes continuous.
