Not getting enough protein, calories, or liquid

[greatwhite067 3]

I just had my sleeve on Aug. 13th. I was released from the hospital on Aug. 15th. Since then, I have had lots of abdominal from gas. My doctors gave me my pain pills with I am taking as needed with a stool softner. I have had good BM's since coming home from the hospital. I am walking as much as possible but my chest and stomach hurts when I breath in deep. I am also having issues sleeping. I have not taken anything for my gas other than oxy. I am getting 90+ grams of Protein a day from my shakes as well as sipping Water and Powerade all day long into the night. My eating is coming along but it's not great. I am so scared I will stretch my new stomach that I am afraid to eat a lot. Any suggestions, opions, ect that can be given?

I had the same issues after surgery. I only had to do 40g of Protein in my clear liquid phase. Just do the best you can! You'll get to a point where you can drink more at one time! Hang in there it gets better!!

Thank you for the reply. Can I eat scrambled eggs cut up or do I have to eat egg beaters? Can I have boiled eggs?
