I'm from the northwest suburbs. Are you from IL, too?

Thanks everyone for your replies. I had my one week post-op appointment last week and was moved up to pureed, but I'm finding that to be just as difficult. I saw another surgeon at the practice because mine was on vacation, and this doctor kind of yelled at me for not getting enough fluids and protein. Excuse me, but it's pretty hard when you're only able to stomach so much! So it's safe to say I've been feeling pretty defeated by this whole process. I'm two weeks post-op now and finding I am just not interested in eating anything. I know I have to, but everything makes me nauseous. My multivitamin makes me gag, too. But my doctor prescribed me an anti-nausea pill today, so I took that and it's helped, but I still don't have much of an appetite. So let's just say, it's been a fun two weeks, haha. I really appreciate the replies and suggestions. Thank you again.

Hi everyone! This is my first post here and I am wondering if y'all have any recommendations for full liquid items. I am really struggling to make it through this stage. I have my protein shakes, but I'm already getting sick of those. Also, how am I supposed to get in 60g of protein PLUS 64oz of water each day, when my sleeve is only able to hold so much? I feel like I'm not getting enough of either each day. Did anyone else struggle to get their required intake? So if you have any recommendations for full liquid items that you enjoy and any advice for this stage, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks, Maggie
