Water hurts but protein doesnt?



Recommended Posts

I have the worst time with getting in my fluids. I can down my premeir Protein Shakes like there's nothing to it. I can finish off an 11oz shake in 10 minutes or less. The problem is Water. It HURTS! I can feel it go down all the way. The best way I can describe the feeling is it feels like pouring water into a plastic cup with a tiny hole in the bottom. It all just stops and then I feel it slowly drain into my stomach and I don't understand why. Water is the only thing that does this to me. Why doesn't the Protein? I'm dehydrated and I need my water but I dread drinking it helppp. Anyone else have this problen?

to help get past the dehydration, maybe you should try some Gatorade g2 or Powerade sugar free. It would get your fluids in and help with hydration and might not have the same effect as Water.< /p>

Thank you!!! I followed your suggestion and got some powerade zeros. although it still hurts going down it is so much easier to drink and I was able to get a 32oz bottle down in a matter of a couple hours.

Glad I could help! It is all I drank my first few days. Since then I have it and ice Water. Hope things keep improving for you.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
