Need Help

I am sure this very question is posted somewhere on here but as I just joined I don't really want to go through every post to find my answer. I was sleeved on May 1st I am keeping liquids down for the most part but so far I think I have only drank one 32 oz bottle of Water and a little bit of gater aide. I have had 4 oz of sugar free pudding and a little Jello and half of a Atkins shake. I know I am not getting enough of anything starting to feel dzzy. any suggestion on how to get more Protein added in here. I do have unflavored Protein Powder and tried and I thought for sure I was going to throw up it was just horrible

http://www.bariatricpal.com/forum/456-protein-vitamins-and-supplements/ Lots of advice on different Protein powders and recipes.

Did you try mixing the unflavored into your pudding? I really didn't like doing that either but i found Protein powders that I love!

Your focus should be on liquids right now so you do not become dehydrated. Vitamin Water Zero or G2 will help with your electrolytes. sugar free ice pops count towards your liquids. My first week I actually used a clock and made myself sip every 5 minutes the first and second day home, every 3 minutes the fourth and fifth day home. Try warm Decaf tea or room temperature Water. Try sipping chicken broth from a mug. Try different brands of bottled water. Even today at 9 months post op there are some brands of bottled water I can't get down.

It will get better every day.

I was on liquids only for the 1st 2 weeks post op. I know I didn't have my Protein or liquids numbers where they should be but Dr was more concerned with not becoming dehydrated so I sucked on SF popsicles and drank chicken broth. All Drs and programs are different.

Must say I feel the Premier Protein - choc shakes saved me. I mixed them 1/2 and 1/2 with 1% milk and they tasted like choc milk shakes. They have lots of Protein. After week 2 I was able to tolerate them without mixing it with milk, so I always get my protein in by just having 2 a day and then my other high protein pureed foods put me right up to 80 grams or better Good luck. By the way, I could not stand the unjury protein stuff either.
