3 weeks out. Protien and water

[mamasanch 22]

I am having a hard time getting in all my Protein and Water. I can get most of my protein in but too full to get the water. I have seen some people say water first? Hmmm. If I drink the water first I won't be able to get most of the protein. I thought the protein should be important. I am drinking Protein Drinks.< /p>

Me too! The only thing I can think to do is set timers from the minute I wake up until I go to sleep based on the suggested eating & drinking schedule I got from my dietitian clinic. Tomorrow will be my first full day of actually following it ( fingers crossed). I can let you know how it goes.

I try to have a Water at my desk but with the food i don't get enough water in. Let me know if that works. I have lost a total of 14 pounds since surgey and 12 on post op. I wonder if I drink more water if the numbers would be different

Oops. 12 pre op. 14 post op

I'm having trouble too. Water mixed with anything makes me feel sick but so does plain water. It stinks! I'm going to try getting some mio drops to see if that helps at all. Open to suggestions! I make a plan in the morning of what I'm going to drink and when. It helps me stay on track. Hope this helps!

I used to love Water before my sleeve, but now I found out I love ice cold Water. It takes me so long too drink a glass of water now its warm by the time I'm done and it sucks.

Yesterday I had a nestea zero. Does that count as a water? There is pretty much nothing in it. Ideas? I'm hoping it does because its 0 cal and its pretty good tasting.

I do agree though its so hard too get that water in. Its a full time job, but I was tols that before my sleeve.

My nut and drs office says to focus on getting the liquids in first. Part of that total amount can come from shakes...they told me just yesterday that the only way to hit Protein goal is by shakes at this point. So, 24 oz of my daily liquids goal is a shake of some sort. It hits my Protein daily goal plus liquids goal. Calories free beverages count to that daily liquid total as well.

Water was not my friend until day 7 post op. Try different things each day..it changes from day to day what your sleeve can and can not tolerate!
