Not getting enough...of anything



Recommended Posts

I got sleeved 5 days ago. I came home from the hospital Thursday, today is Saturday. I just added up what I have been eating realized I am consuming about 100 calories and 12g Protein. I am trying, but I.just can't fit much in my sleeve without feeling sick.

Is this normal this soon post-op? Or should I be concerned? I am still on full liquids and move to puree in about 5 days.

Thanks.

I put my drink on the kitchen counter, take a sip then walk around the house once and take another sip. if sip was too big then i walked around twice before sipping again. it took me an hour and a half to drink my Protein Shake but i did it. maybe you could try it. the walking help take my mind off of drinking. you gotta focus on getting the Proteins in since they help with the healing process and it ensures you lose fat instead of muscle. then move right into drinking your fluids. it'll get easier. good luck with it.

I did better with Protein sports drinks like Isopure and designer whey blitz early on. Cut them with g2 or a little Water if too strong. Sometimes the shakes are just a little thick the first few days.
