DFW Bariatrics and General Surgery, Dr. Sachin Kukreja’s practice, posted this video on its YouTube channel on January 27, 2025.
From the video’s description on YouTube
Dehydration is a common problem after bariatric surgery - it’s the thing that brings patients back to the hospital after surgery.
Your hydration goal after surgery is to drink 64 oz of non-dehydrating, non-sugar fluids (caffeine doesn’t count because caffeine is a diuretic, which means it can actually dehydrate you more).
A simple way to make sure you’re drinking enough fluids is to carry a water bottle with you at all times and sip on it throughout the day.
If you’ve had bariatric surgery, do you have any tips for staying hydrated?
More videos from the practice are on Dr. Sachin Kukreja’s profile.
