How much can I drink at a time?

Meandmylittledog · 2011-06-14T18:02:49+0000

I'm 7 days post op today and am able to get my Protein drinks- 8oz down in about 30-45 minutes. I questioned the nut that said I shouldn't be drinking more than 4oz every 30 minutes and I should space my protein out during the day. My doc told me to fix my 60g of protein, divide it by 3 and those were my meals. As long as I got those in he didn't care what else I had, he didn't want to hear at my post op visit that I can't get my protein in but can have other things. Can Protein Drinks really put that much pressure on our staple lines? I'm a bit worried now as I don't want to damage anything. I'd appreciate your words of wisdom. Thanks!

  Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
  1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

    All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
