  1. I have always been a huge water drinker... Until now. I'm still on phase 2.. Nothing besides protein, unless I get in all the protein, then I can try fruits and/or veggies. I get nauseous as soon as the water hits my stomach... But I continue to press on. I get 2 shakes and a bottle of water in, but that's it. As long as I know that this is normal, I will keep pressing on!!! Thank you all!!! I appreciate the support'
  2. I don't go back to the bariatric doctors until December 30, but I am seeing my primary physician next Tuesday. I will definitely be upfront with all of them.
  3. I'm getting about 66 grams of protein through the shakes. I'm a teacher, so the first shake takes from 8am to almost noon to get in, then my second one takes from 1pm until I get home to finish it. I try to sip water in between, but there is no time for anything more... I will try adding water and ice to the shakes. That is a good idea! Thank you!
  4. I had my surgery on November 19th of this year. I still have an incision that hasn't completely closed. But more concerning, I cannot eat. I have been barely getting 460 calories in a day through shakes. I just realized that I wasn't putting enough shake mix in... Now that I am making them properly, I am struggling to get them down too. I keep trying different things and as soon as it hits my stomach I struggle not to vomit. I know I am not getting enough water either, as I am getting pain in my back in my kidney area and I only go to the bathroom twice a day. Is this just going to take time??? I'm beginning to wish I had never had surgery!
