hi newbie
yes,Protein is very very important
but for now, Water is more essential
if you can't drink the shakes comfortably
then continue to sip your Water all day like you"ve been doing
popsicles, chrystal light
getting dehydrated is no fun
it happened to me on valentines day
( obviously will never forget the date it happened
having to be in the hospital for 2 days having IV fluids, no fun
your body/tummy has been invaded
it is angry/rebeling at you
thats why it hurts!!!
its saying "what the heck did you do to me "
as @@Curvy said" It gets easier. Just take it one day at a time and before you know it, it'll be a walk in the park."
sooner than later you should be enjoying your healthier, happier, longer life with the sleeve
improved speedy recovery
hang in there

thanks for the info flavored Water is a little easier to get down got down 8 oz down 50+ more to go =)

This is very common. Your stomach is swollen from the trauma of your recent surgery, making it that much more difficult to fill your new tummy. My doctor told me to do my best to stay hydrated and to sip, sip, sip all day long. Water is hard to get in because of it's density, but if you add in a sugar free flavor enhancer, it should be easier. Frozen sugar free Popsicles were my life line first week post op. It's all I could really get down. Once I moved onto full liquids, I'd eat Greek yogurt (was included in my full liquids) and add unflavored whey Protein powder to my sugar free Jello, both upping my Protein in take.
Don't beat yourself over protein yet. Try--by all means, but don't let it get you down. You'll get there. It gets better. It gets easier. Just take it one day at a time and before you know it, it'll be a walk in the park.
Good luck!
