Salonboi 353 Posted May 10, 2015 I've hit my Fluid intake everyday And come close to my Protein. I've had a lot of pressure Which is uncomfortable but what's in I have left has been manageable so far. I m just really weak and tired I would say that's harder than he pain or not eating .... Are you experiencing any weakness or exhaustion?Definitely on both fronts. But I'm relaxing as much as I can, so not much energy being exerted. The gas pain first few days was not fun. It's slowly subsiding. Walking definitely helps. Good on ya, for getting in your requirements so quickly. I didn't wanna push my new pouch to fast to soon. It was speaking to me, so I chose to listen lol. Definitely glad I listened. No dumping at all ???? yay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salonboi 353 Posted May 10, 2015 I use this stuff called Liqacel, it's 16oz of Protein per 1oz shot. So I double up shots to add to my Water. It's so good. I got sick of protein type milky shakes. Definitely makes a big difference killing two birds with one stone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nancynew 198 Posted May 10, 2015 Thanks Salonboi , I will check that out also. I do drink the Isopure flavored bottles ( iced tea and grape) I like a lot. 40 Protein, no carbs, 170 calories per 20oz bottle. Are you adding Fiber to any of your drinks? NUT hasn't said I needed just yet. I assume when I start adding more foods in I'll need. Nothing solid right now going in or out so I think it's the way it should be lol. How about you? Has your NUT or Dr said anything about it?No, NUT or DR has said anything about adding fiber at this point. Makes sense, nothing solid in it out so doesn't seem necessary.

Thank goodness they got you situated this morning, as to not lose your place in line for surgery. The water part only sucks when you think of not having it. Being hooked up to an IV drip alleviates any dehydration. Godspeed on your recovery and keep us posted ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
