My surgeon told me that I am to drink no more than 64 oz of water. If I consume any other liquids it should be less than 10 calories per 8 oz. Since I have had the lap band I can only drink one 8 oz glass of low sodium V-8 (spicy hot---LOVE IT) and the 64 oz of water. Any more than that and I cannot eat anything. My body cannot do all that liquid AND the food I am supposed to eat.
