I'm day 6 post op and having difficulty getting all my liquids and all my protein drinks in. any suggestions?

you are still very swollen...so continue to get in as much as you can.sip and sip and sip some more..its vital to stay hydrated and the protein feeds your body so do as best you can..as the days past, the swelling goes down, its easier to drink and then eat....do the best you can

CG is correct...post op, and even now, I always have a bottle of Water with me, and I sip from it often.

It does get easier to get required fluids once the swelling resolves.

Best wishes for a successful journey...

I third that notion! Just keep up and do what your body allows you to. It will get better and easier with a week or so. Your motivation is coming soon when you realize your body can survive off of such few calories compared to how much you used to consume. The weight loss will be there soon too.

Keep us posted and don't hesitate to ask for info!

Agree with all of the above people I too am having the same problems an I am 3 weeks out. I have been told it gets better one day at a time, just know you aren't alone

Post surgery recovery sometimes takes lots of weeks to get your swelling down and start feeling good. Be patient! Follow your doctor's orders.
