James Marusek 5,244 Posted March 5, 2018 It is common for individuals to be unable to meet their daily Protein and fluid goals during the first couple weeks after surgery. This is because your body is in a major heal mode. Just keep working towards those daily goals and you should soon be able to get there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yadifan 23 Posted March 5, 2018 I was sleeved on 2/28 and also having a hard time with Water intake. Feels like I take in too much air. I just keep sipping and walking. Getting better everyday. Good luck!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
briae13 46 Posted March 5, 2018 Walking is the best medicine! Try sugar free popsicles to help with Fluid intake. 1 TJ30 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
