Drinking while Eating



Recommended Posts

Hmmm. Ok. Thanks! So is it safe to assume that no one here was able to get all the Protein in during week 1-2 post op?

After day three I got in 60-80 grams in daily with Protein shakes, averaging 70. I just checked MFP to see.

I did. 60g a day. A shake made with soy milk and nectar chocolate truffle in the morning, a nectar drink made with Water in the afternoon and a different Protein Drink made with water around dinner time. 29+23+15=67g

I was able to get in 70grams a day, but I had to begin at 8 AM and drink until about 2 AM.

My Dr. told me not to worry about Protein at all for the first couple weeks - just hydration. That's the most important thing. :-)

I'm day 10 post-op. Lately, I've been getting 60-80 grams a day ( 3 sessions of 20-29 gram drinks per day). But I focus those over pure Water (since they;re all liquids), so maybe I'm not getting enough pure Water. I'm at least as hydrated as I was pre-op (which may not have been ideal either, I wager), but the last few days really opened up for me and I can drink more often for longer.

I'm a little worried I've done something wrong because at a movie last night, I got down a 29g Premier Protein shake (11Oz, 29g) and most of a large glass of water (must have been 20 Oz), which seems like too much for 2 hours... but I wasn;t feeling full or in any discomfort.

Worried I might be stretching the sleeve without knowing it though...

Omg, I feel the same. I have been struggling to get liquids in until the last couple of days, like yesterday: I had a Premier Protein in under an hour (11oz) and a little bit of Water. I'm worried I'm stretching it too

Drinking while eating or too soon after eating has caused sliming and puking for me.

I am almost three months out... Haven't 'barged' yet but I have come close. What is sliming? I've read it a couple times on here and just curious...

My mouth fills with thick saliva and I feel like I need to spit, and a bit gaggy.

In these first 2 weeks I spit all the time. I feel like I have more saliva than ever.

My Dr. told me no drinking a half hour before and after eating as you will wash the nutrients through and not absorb them. Also will intake more than you should in the beginning. That is one thing I am having a hard time with.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
