Ok, thank you

Or do I count it with my fluids? Asking because I am making a plan for how to eat and drink throughout a day.

Hi. I am now 8 days post op and I am feeling pretty good. I had 4 days of clear liquids and have started on the full liquids for 2,5 weeks. I should be eating 6-7 meals a day, and since I cant drink with meals, I feel like all I am doing is drinking and eating And I am worried I am not getting enough fluid in. I was wondering of any of you guys would share an example of your meal and drink plan with me, like what amount you eat and drink at what times during a day? Also, do you have any good suggestions for getting enough protein in at this stage, except for proteinshakes? Im having a hard time drinking them.

Heya :)Unfortunately I could not find anywhere online that would ship to my country. Things are going a bit better now that I am on regular foods, but I am still having a hard time getting enough protein in. I tried Quest bars, but after my surgery I cant stand them hehe.. Still searching for something like you suggested, but it seems to be hard to find here. All I find is powder that you have to mix yourself, or sports-shakes that tastes way too sweet. Losing weight though, so thats good. How about you? How are you?

there is a coconut Water called coco protein that is amazing low in calories and lactose/gluten free it really does just taste like coconut water!! I love it!! I'm 2 and a half weeks out Thank you so much! I will see if i can find that.

Yea. It is getting better. I am just stressed and worried about getting dehydrated or not getting enough Proteins. Today has been easier. I dont feel pain when drinking Water anymore and I feel like I can drink more between my meals now. I hope thats normal Its the same with my "meals", but I am pretty good at eating slow and only the adviced ammount, so I hope thats why my sleeve isnt arguing with me... I started thinking " what if they didnt make it as small as they should have!". This is all new, so it takes time to understand it, and I stress myself a lot, I need to stop doing that!

I have the same problem. It feels like all I am doing is eating and drinking. Having to eat 7 meals a day and fit the drinking inbetween is taking up so much time, and I was told to only drink 4 oz each time I drink. So I am not able to get the adviced ammount of fluids in during a day.

Hi guys. What does your pre op diets look like? How long are you on it, is it only liquid, or a normal low calorie diet?

I think low carb diet sounds a lot more tempting Getting pretty sick of the shakes.

Yea, I hope so. I have been under 700 calories a day since I started last week. Thanks for the help ! <3

Yea, thats what I am doing too, I have been drinking soups and shakes for almost a week now. Some of the days haw been really hard, so once a day I have replaced a shake with a plum or a slice of bread, with the same ammount of (or less)calories than the shake would give me. I hope this is does not ruin anything when it comes to the liver reduction. The instructions from my surgeon were so vague. I have surgery the 5th of September. Nervous and worried im not preparing the right way.
