I am 4 weeks post op and still can't get more than one shake in and I m so thristy but can only drink so much . Today I had an upset stomach .. praying this all gets smoothed out soon ... I want to do what's right for my health

Are you having any stomach or shoulder pain? I know what you are going through-I am four weeks post-op as well and have been sick for the last three. Strep throat, bronchitis and the flu...all at once! I am barely eating 400 calories a day, and that's a shake, and some scrambled egg whites, which taste incredibly rich to me. I have been to the doctor twice and am closely monitoring my symptoms as Iam sooooo afraid of getting pneumonia...it has been a TOUGH month!

Try drinking mild tea instead of Water to switch it up, or flavoured water. Plain water-ugh. I also found Protein water today..its NOT cheap, but it has 10g of protein, no calories or sugar....about 8 bucks for 4 bottles. You have got to work up to consuming more because you are going to throw your body into starvation mode (like mine) and then not burn anything.

It gets better! It took about 6 weeks for me. I'm now 9 weeks and doing great. Those first 6 weeks were awful and I was hospitalized for a week at week 3! Hang in there and drink Gatorade to stay hydrated.

Thank you ladies !! It makes me feel so much better talking to you ... Merry Christmas ... sipping on my water and I will look for the protein water .
