5 days Post Op and a little confused



Recommended Posts

I have my nutrition folder and It says full liquids for 2 weeks post op. It suggest things like Protein Drinks for Breakfast and creamed Soups for lunch and dinner. However it took me 8 hours yesterday to finish about 6 oz of Protein Drink. I am sipping Gatorade and Vitamin Water too.

What should my goals be??? 2 oz of Protein drink? and then some Soup later? I am just not sure I am doing this right. Yesterday all day I got was 200 calories in and maybe 20 grams of protein.

I am almost scared to try anything like pudding with protein, it just seems to thick in mind right now.

Myrori,

Congrats on your new sleeve! I was newly sleeved on the 18th & my dr told me the most important thing at first was to stay hydrated & to forget the protein until it was easier for me to drink. Therefore, I'm sticking with the soups, Vitamin Water & gatorade for a while longer & then I'll try to start on the protein. Good luck on your journey & keep us posted! :)
