I started full liquids and I am SO full. How do you get all the Water and the Protein in now? I spend every second sipping something.

During full liquids, I wasn't drinking much water. Pretty much 3-4 protein shakes plus one bottle of water a day. I was shooting for 60g or protein a day. Now that I am on solids, my protein intake is higher.

Make the protein shakes a priority. I used 100% Gold Standard with why prtein mixed with water.

Looks like I'm gonna be the odd man out in this one, I would love to see you get all your protien in, but hydration is priority #1. You are still healing your stomach is still swollen, asthe swelling goes down, this will all get easier, but for now, Water is your best friend. If you have to give up some protien to get more water, do it.

Just in case I wasn't clear, drink water.

You can put some protein powder in your soup, blend it with a little milk a natural one and add it to creamy soups if you have them (its kinda gross with non creamy soups)

I don’t know what you were told but I wasn’t expected to get 100g of protein in every day to start with I was told try and get in as much as you can between 50-100g a day but don’t worry.

Water wasn’t my friend so I drank decaf tea a lot still do and flavoured water but check the labels on the flavoured water some are nasty buggers full of crap.

I was one of the people told fluid intake was far more important than protein for the first few weeks.

But yeah you do feel like your constantly drinking taking a med drinking a med drining drinking drink when you move on its then the waiting between eating and drinking too lol

If you can stand like hot water with lemon in it try that warmer drinks tend to go down easier, if I liked hot water I would have sipped on that instead!

Just do what you can do and don’t feel you HAVE to do what other people are or were doing at the same stage as long as your doc/nurse/nut are ok with how your going you will be fine.

As a nurse I would say hydration is key drink your water as priority 1 you don't want to end up in the hospital due to dehydration.Your stomach will heal and you can work your way up to taking in enough protein over time a little more everyday.
