Okay, so today i had about 60 oz of Water, 60 grams of Protein, all my Vitamins and I walked for about 20 minutes. Am I doing too much too fast? I feel kind of bloated after I took the last of my (disgusting) Calcium. So...am I harming myself in any way? I only had my surgery on 1/23 and it seems like maybe I got in too much? And I blame the bloated feeling on mixing unflavored Protein Powder (Unjury) into my chicken broth. It made it thicker and therefore, it stuck more? What do y'all think?

I'm amazed that you got that much in you. Be careful about that bloated feeling. This early, your tummy is still numb and may not give you signals if you actually overfill it...or at least not signals you'll recognize. You're probably right about the thicker Soup not going through as easily. It's great that you can get your Water in and that you're working so hard on teh Protein, though.

You'll get more restriction as soon as you get to mushies, though. So, don't worry too hard about being able to get "so much" in right now. :)

I figured as much but I thought I get it out to the community at large.

I love drinking Water so I've just been taking your advice, Lissa and sipping all day. I basically use my 20 oz bottle and try to drink two of them a day. And then I drink one bottle of Isopure Zero (Alpine Punch, the only one I can stomach)...and of course, my Vitamins and such. That's been my whole consumption since I got home from surgery. Because I was feeling pretty good, I decided to try something different...hence, the bloated feeling. I really haven't had any SF ice pops because I haven't felt like it. When I have (twice thus far), I can't finish the whole thing. Thanks for the reassurance!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
