I'm 3 days post-op. I'm having problems with drinking and keeping clear Liquid Protein down. Any suggestions?

I was sleeved Wed and I am also having the same problems. I hear it gets better each day.

I sure hope so. I think it will be easier when I can add in Protein Shakes. I like the Premier Protein.< br>

I was sleeved Tuesday I started with Protein Shakes when I got home. Cold liquids are definitely a no no.

I'm supposed to do Clear Liquids the first week then add in the full liquids starting week 2. I too have issues with cold liquids.

I was sleeved on Tuesday and am on the same type of follow up diet as you. Clear Liquids for the first week, full liquids week 2, and then soft/ moist foods for a couple weeks, etc. I have been doing warm broth and handle it well, as well as Protein Water. I seem to do OK with cold liquids, so I've been having sugar free crystal light and ice water. Bone Broth might be a good idea for you. It's "clear" and has protein in it. Hang in there! Before we know it, we'll be passed this stage!

Try different temperatures - sometimes warm was better than cold, sometimes the opposite. Sometimes with flavor (e.g. crystal light), sometimes plain. Sometimes tea, sometimes coffee, sometimes broth. Keep experimenting. If you are clearly not close to your goal for Protein and Water (I was told to use 60 grams and 64 ounces as my marks, with my shakes counting toward my ounces) call your team. Dehydration can be a big problem. Try some sugar free popsicles, too.

I seem to take broth down the easiest. I can't do anything really cold yet. I noticed the clear Proteins I liked pre-op, I no longer tolerate. I'm be fine when I can do full liquids I think.

I can't wait to just be able to drink somewhat normally. I am CRAVING water, but after the tiniest sip, I feel sick. It's driving me crazy!!!!

      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.
