Very, VERY common. How far out are you? If you were in Nov you can't even be 2 weeks, maybe less depending on your date. This is a problem for most people at the beginning.

The best advice is just to sip sip sip if you're having trouble. Try different liquids at different temperatures and do the best you can. I was lucky and only struggled for the first few days but a lot of people had trouble for weeks. Youll get there!

I agree with @ella37. Sip, sip sip and try different temps and see what works best for you. The first week or two, I drank Powerade Zero rather than Water because it worked better for me. Then I transitioned to mostly Water and one 16 oz glass of Decaf iced tea (with 1 stevia) each day.

I rebounded with that quickly. I'm 46 days post-op today, and I drink semi-normally now.

Good luck!

Yes I struggle with it..ALOT ..so I had to change my What and when I drink..first thing in a.m.. When we are typically thirsty I do my 2scoops of muscle milk with Water..sip that until dog is ready to come back in????..sip Water, some broth..have Vitamins (procare is one a day)...maybe sugar free Popsicle or jelly..before bed I have my premier Carmel shake..the sweet tooth is complete ..sips of water liquid meds for the night to help me sleep thru the soreness and do it again tomorrow.. Get 50 to 65 Protein..

I struggle daily. The best thing for me was a 30 oz stainless steel cup with a lid at Wally World for about $10. It keeps my drink cold and it really is a lifesaver for me.

      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.
