Too much protein and water?



Recommended Posts

I'm 4 days post op and got in 3 Protein Shakes for a total of 84g Protein and drank about 50oz Water. Seems like too much according to what others have posted. Should I be concerned?

That's great! I struggled to get in my 60g of Protein the first few weeks, and still struggle with my liquids almost 8 weeks out...

That's great! I'm almost 2 weeks out and I'm really struggling with hydration. I'm getting close to hitting that 64oz goal, but close ain't cutting it judging by how dehydrated and crappy I feel!

Im 5 days out and I'm having a hard time with liquids too. Everything I drink makes me feel nauseous. It is getting a little better than it was the day after surgery but I feel like I'm not getting enough liquids down. I'm also tired of everything I am drinking. Plain Water makes me feel really sick so I'm doing crystal light and Popsicles etc. but just getting so tired of those same drinks. My son was drinking a cold bottle of water and it looks so good I just want to pick it up and chug it like I used to be able to do. This is getting really frustrating!

Sounds great to me. Are you including the shakes into your 50oz of Water? If so, you probably want to focus a bit more on hydration. Remember, frat priority is hydration, then Protein.

You are doing great though!!

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
