I had my sleeve done on 1/16/18 and was able to start drinking my protein shakes again yesterday. For the first 3 days I was struggling to get my protein water down. It would take half the day to drink a 20oz bottle of Isopure. Now that I’m back on my Premier Protein shakes, I drink the 11oz container in like 5 minutes. I sip water throughout the day and really have no urge to eat anything else during the day except for missing food because I know I like it. Should I be concerned that I can get that much liquid down so quickly after surgery??? I see most people struggle to get down an ounce or two.
Also, on days 4 and 5 I’ve tried having coffee in the morning with Splenda and I’ve had diarrhea about an hour later each time. Is that to be expected and will coffee ever be tolerated again?
Thanks.
