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 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.

      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.
