Did you get in all your water and protein from the start? I was released from the hospital yesterday and could only drink 17 ounces of water throughout the day. I don't want to get discouraged too early, but... well, aim discouraged. Surgery was Friday. Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App I also definitely didn't get in my water the day after my surgery -- not at ALL. But I managed it the day after that. So if you can't manage the first day, don't stress too much... Thank you! Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App

The reason for the minimal liquid with one scoop of protein is because it is EXTREMELY difficult to get enough protein in. Our stomachs no longer allow for the same amount of "food" (protein powder), so packing as much protein into as little of liquid as possible is important. You'll find that even 4 ounces is hard to drink after surgery. Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App Is your coffee decaf? Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App coffee is not decaf, but I am allowed caffeinated drinks. I have drunk caffeine on an empty stomach before w/o problem, too. Sent from my electric toaster using the BariatricPal App. Oh okay. That's what I was going to suggest. For me, I cannot do caffeine on an empty stomach. If it's never been an issue for you, that probably isn't it. It could be the different balance between protein and carbs (having essentially no carbs with high protein) then what you're used to.

I was told liquid Vitamins until 6 weeks post op at my last pre-op appointment. How far out are you? Is it the taste you are having trouble with? Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App

Anybody have diarrhea with the pre-op diet? I'm not sure if it's from Protein shakes or what. Does it even out? Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App

I would love to join. How do I do so? I have a surgery date of December 9th. Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App
