Hey there. I'm almost 3 weeks post op rny (12/16) and I just wanted some input on a few things.

- Is it ok that I can take almost normal drinks? I'm not talking gulps by any means just normal drinks at a time. I still don't take more then one drink at a time but should I still be taking baby sips?

- It takes me a long time to drink my shakes. So long that I really have no time to eat. Now it doesn't hurt to drink at all but I'm not pushing it by drinking a lot at once so between my shakes and trying so very hard to get enough liquids in slowly I just don't really have time to eat. Is this normal and ok?

Thanks for any input :)

I have had zero issues with eating when I do too. It seems a little weird really. My only intake complaint is that it's really hard to get enough fluids in. Physically it's been easier then expected (well days 2-4 were brutal but it was my drain), emotionally and psychologically it's TOUGH.

hello there! At three weeks post op, your nerves in your stomach are still healing, and therefor aren't really giving your brain the information it needs to know if you're stretching or hurting it. I had a similar experience with Water. It felt like I could drink pretty normally. Then by about 5 or 6 weeks it slowed wayyyy down because my stomach could actually communicate that it was getting too full too fast. Stick with the baby sips for now. Once things heals and you slowly get back to a normal intake of food and water, you will know when you're actually able to take larger and more frequent sips. I can drink almost normally now at 4.5 months. :) Take care!

Thank you... I think I was afraid of that answer as being able to drink a little more at a time gave me hope on someday soon making my Fluid goal. I will slow it down.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
