ABmalone 0 Posted December 21, 2016 I had my RNY on 12-15 and I'm still not getting enough Protein or fluids in. Is that normal? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deb2571 70 Posted December 21, 2016 Totally normal. It will get better each day. Just keep trying to reach your Fluid goals then Protein. Remember it's only been about a week for you. You'll get there. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Marusek 5,244 Posted December 21, 2016 Very normal. After surgery your body is in a major heal mode. Just keep trying to reach your goal each day. And you will find that you improve each day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LadyDarkness415 41 Posted December 22, 2016 Yep. I did 2 premier Protein shakes with 30mg of Protein in them per day and a bunch of Water (getting all that in was a task in it self-i never got enough water). Lived on that for quite a while!
