You should call your surgeon. You do not want to get dehyrdated. It is not fun. Your body needs that protein and hydration to heal a large wound (your stomach). Good luck to you.

At 2 weeks I too couldn't get my protein in, but I could drink water....have you contacted your Drs. office??

I'm 2 weeks also I can drink 3 bottles of Water and 2 12 oz of muscle milk just fine and now I have to start the purée my stomach won't tolerate the food at all so I'm the opposite of you I'm hoping it gets better good luck

let your surgeon's office know how you are feeling! dehydration is not a good thing. I could not drink the required 64oz but I was able to get 32oz in plus the protein drinks (16oz) SF pops, 2oz yogurt or jello or pudding. Really hope you feel better...

I was the same way. I could drink about 1/2 of a Water bottle a day. I did not have any Protein or Vitamins for the first 3 weeks. Doctor said to keep trying the protein powders. Nobody wanted to believe that the smell of that stuff made me want to vomit. Greek yogurt does too.

So for all those weeks I felt like a big pile of crap. Then suddenly at 4 weeks when I was able to eat regular food it all got better like overnight. It will get better!

I'm 4 weeks out, trying pureed foods, always make me nauseated. having a very hard time getting my water in. cant quite figure out the schedule I should be on. When to take my pills, when to take my protein, when to drink...I don't like how my stomach feels. Cant wait until this stage is over.
