Home and sleeved!! Got a question about restriction!...
I have a one ounce cup that I'm using to drink from.. They said I should handle one cup every 15 minutes.. Well I'm drinking my protein and I can easily do two in a row without feeling full... I'm sure I could do another. So that would be 3oz at one time.. Does that seem like too much for someone two days out? My surgeon says he uses a 34 bougie. I would think I'd have crazy restriction right now?
Also, hiccups.. Anyone get crazy hiccups right after surgery? I've been getting them often and of course it hurts!

That's why they gave you a specific amount to drink. Hiccups are typically a sign of being full, or an air bubble with fluids going down.
Plus, you might not have as much swelling as the next patient, but you surely aren't going to feel a lot in there due to the trauma of the surgery.
Just follow the prescribed guidelines.

Got sleeved the day before you, 8/9. Had one gulp, one large pain and one hiccup.... that was all it took, (I guess I learn fast)LOL. I drink 1 oz from a shot glass every 15 minutes ans sip water. I like water, I had 48 oz yesterday, sipping slowly.
I am feeling great, but still have on-Q pain pump. Worried if it will have more pain after it comes out?
Welcome and I hope these hiccups go away.
