I was sleeved on November 19th. Feeling good; back to work; still on full liquid phase.

Problem is getting all my fluids & protein in. Yesterday was the first day I attained the 64oz. fluid goal, only 28g of which was protein. Today I have gotten 36ozs of liquid so far (20 oz water & 2 protein shakes with 16oz milk totaling 48 grams protein). I'm struggling finishing the second protein shake. If I wouldn't have made the second protein shake I know I could have gotten in enough water to meet the liquid goal but then my protein would have been inadequate (still is). As I work toward meeting both goals, which is more important at this stage?

Water. You want to avoid dehydration at all costs. That lands people in the hospital.

It would be easier for me if I was back on protein shakes. I can drink the protein shakes or I can eat protein, but not both, at least not within 6 hours of each other.....

water is the most important thing. If you have to choose between the two, water is what you can't be without. You would get very sick if you got dehydrated.

The Premier drinks from Costco have 30 grams of protein, so at least you can get half of your days requirement from one drink. They go down very well.

I was in a stall for alittle over a month and I notice that water was what I need to break it. Its hard you feel like your a fish lol but the scale is finally moving YAHHHIIIIIIIIII so anyways I agree with everyone else water first and then make sure you have your protein I buy mine at walmart is whey protein isolate and it has 30g of protein per scoop plus I add 8oz skim fat free milk for a total of 38grams of protein and is $19 and I only have one shake a day the rest of my protein I get from food.
