Just had sleeve surgery Friday 3/27

Having a lot of trouble getting in the Protein and Water

Also I am taking 17 prescription drugs I can't see how I can get them all in

I'm putting them off for several days until the sleeve inflammation goes down

Fell horrible

Any suggestions?

@@bbaron, I have lyme and also have to take about 20 meds per day. It was quite tough in the beginning and even now I have to do them in batches. I had gotten instructs from my Dr on what I needed to take w/out interruption and what I could put off. Also got some temporary alternatives for the ones that were horse pills. Water in the am makes me nauseated so thst is tough still. G2 Gatorade helped in the beginning to get the stuff down. BUT it does get better.

@@agalindo17 good for you. Agree, theres a lot of good info and support here. Also, have you read Alex's book?

Hi I am on my 5th day and starting to get hungry. Sorta getting tired of Jello and popsicles! Yesterday I started my Protein Shake w skim milk. So weird that my mouth wants the crunch and food tell textures. Anyone having the same thing? And no bm for three days, but I don't feel bad because of it....

@@pattyr are you allowed chicked/beef/vegetable broth. If so, have some. I was only allowed those along with Jello & Popsicles for the first two weeks. Head hunger was getting to me, to the point where I had to cook for my family, serve dinner, then head to the bedroom cuz I just wanted to chew something so bad. One day, I actually took a bite of chicken , chewed it to smithereens, sucked out all the flavor, then spit it out! Lol

No bm is kind of normal at first since you're not consuming actually food. I actually had the worst case of Constipation the first 4 weeks. It was horrible. try to make sure you get in enough fluids, especially if you're getting in your Protein. If not, you will regret it when you're backed up. =/
