I had a hell of a time with liquids and Protein. I called my surgeon and he said don't worry so much about Protein the first week. Just concentrate on fluids, fluids, fluids! Take small sips. Drink broth slowly. Add a little lemon to your Water for some flavor. Do not get dehydrated.

Best of luck!

Have you talked to your surgeon about this? It seems pretty unusual to me. Usually one does not have problems with liquids.

I have yet to meet someone who was able to meet their liquids goals right off the bat! In fact most folks I know continue to be challenged by it, myself included.

I had a tough time too in the beginning. It took a month before I felt anything like normal. Whey grossed me out and the collagen Protein Shots were worse! I added instant Decaf to the chocolate shakes to cut the sweetness, cut them with almond milk or heated them up like cocoa. Mushy foods couldn't come fast enough.

5 days post op and I'm drinking sugar free white cranberry juice, sugar free lemon sherbet (the best) and stained chicken noodle Soup. I also strained crab soup which was great flavor. I can't stand the Protein either. But I'm trying to get a variety of liquid so that I'm not dehydrated. The back pain is the worse right now and I can't stomach the pain meds

The Isopure drinks are the easiest to stomach for me. I especially like the alpine punch. They are Clear Liquids and have a lighter whey after taste. At GNC you can buy one and taste it. The run around $5 a bottle. I drink 1/2 a bottle a day.

I am three days out too. I got down 33 oz of Water and 1 ice pop yesterday. I am on 18 oz right about now. I do the three small cups to sip on. I've not tried anything else yet. Just concentrating on hydration. I get to start Protein shakes on Monday and get to up my Water to a ounce every 5 min instead of 20 min. Baby steps is the way I am looking at it. Don't look at the big picture-focus on that hour.

It gets better! Sip , walk and rest when necessary. Those should be your priorities for the first couple of weeks. Let us know how you are doing.

I'm three days postop and on Clear liquids. I'm finding it impossible to keep up with the liquids. I'm getting 16 ox per day. The whey Protein in my Jello just turns my stomach. I'm wondering where else I can get Protein. Still having more pain than I thought I would.

Had my sleeve on wed the 12th. My instructions were clear liquids the first week. Jello the second week. Maybe that's to much for you. I'm up to 8oz of the Optifast Protein Drink. I drink it 2oz at a time. Crystal light and Water. So far so good. I'm not pushing it

I agree... Slow and steady

      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.
