Thank you. I am still trying to get all my Protein in. I am not having that crappy feeling when drinking ( I do a lot of walking in my house) maybe try that. I hope you feel better soon.

Hi, I'm 5 days post-op and am able to get all my Protein (60-80 grams)per day. When I first wake up, I start on my Protein shake. I take a tiny sip and then I walk around the house (approx. 70-75 steps) then I take another little sip and walk around again. At first it took me an hour and a half to get the shake down, but this morning it took an hour. Then I keep sipping Water until it's time for the text shake/broth. If the shakes are too thick, try watering it down or try doing a broth. I bought the unjury chicken broth and it tastes great and goes down a little easier.

Good luck with getting in your Proteins. You need them so you don't lose muscle mass.

Thin out the Protein Drink. I thin mine out with skim milk or Water. Mostly skim milk because it adds Protein. I find it really helps. I think the water just takes time it was like one day it hurt going down and the next it didn't so the last 2 days I've enjoyed drinking water and have felt better, I think I was getting dehydrated. I was sleeved on Feb 19th Good luck I'm sure it will get easier.

I am 6 days post op as well and have had a good deal of trouble with liquids too. It has gotten easier the past couple of days. I am looking forward to getting off the Liquid Protein and moving toward Protein Shakes. I can't do that til week 2 however.

I started thining my protien shake with Water today too and it is helping. Go slow and I can honestly now finally agree that it does get better.

Yep. It will pass. I'm 9 weeks out and can drink without that yucky feeling. It is a process, sometimes a slow one. Everyday will get better. Welcome to the losers bench
