I had my surgery on June 18. I had the hardest time trying to do any liquids for two days but I slowly made it to my full 70 grams of protien. Water is tough but my goal is to at least drink 8 oz a day then move up. I just don't want to throw it up. I just been taking it a day at a time. I really don't have pain. I think it's a period cycle pain at this point. i have been using popsicles Isopure as well to get more liquids down. Any tips u can share.

congrats on having surgery last week

sounds like you are improving on your Water situation??

70 gr of Protein is great

BUT - at this early stage in your game water is more important than protein

if you don't drink enough you may/might have problems

popsicles are considered a "little" Fluid - but not much

but i loved theml too!!! great for warmer temperatures now!!!

they keep your lips wet/moist, making you feel great

drinking Isopure, any/all Protein drinks are great and do count as your liquids

some/many people drink chrystal light to help their water situation

others try to drink water at room temperature if they are having problems

again, concentrate on the liquids first

protein will come in its own time

(but you are trying Protein shakes so thats killing two birds with one stone )

read the boards - older questions that might answer your questions

you'll get a lot of good info here

ask your questions too

but we are always here for you

remember, we are all smart

but you should always listen to your doc/NUT before us!!!!

good luck

You can add Protein Powder to yogurt, Soups, etc. I would relax and keep everything simple. A shake will last a couple hours, you can sip a little at a time. Bouillon was a favorite newly sleeved, and even today. Early out we ate a lot of FF Soup. It was very easy to feel full and satisfied. Refried Beans, a tablespoon was awesome. Good luck!
