2 weeks post op questions

[ashes304 16]

I was sleeved on the 20th of Feb. after some complications I was released 4 days later. I have now been home trying to get in my 64oz of daily Water but come no where close. Also, my stomach can't really hold Protein Shakes down yet and what I'm eating is little to nothing. I'm living off Popsicles mostly. So my question is what can I do to get this stuff in me? I feel dizzy and light headed if I stand to long and I have horrible stomach pains.

I bought these fruit flavored Protein Drinks at Walmart 13.00 for 6 of them 42 grams Protein, I add to 1/2 of a Vitamin zero Water, that helps me, I do not drink 64 ounces a day, probably 1/2, no room and I am at day 15 today. I also have about 2 popsicles a day also, so maybe I get 45 ounces of fluids a day, I am short thought.

What I recall at 6 days out other than wondering WTH did I do to myself was that drinking hot tea helped or broth. Cream Soups (which I eventually got tired of) also helped. I didn't eat a lot, actually I hardly could eat anything for a few weeks. I didn't have much pain, but my doc had prescribed pain meds so I took them for a couple of weeks just to give me some relief. I was feeling pretty awful - very light headed, no energy, just horrible. I hated all types of Protein drinks I tried, but never could get into them. I also had a hard time getting Water in, even an ounce or two. Water actually made me nauseous. So I drank Gatorade and VitaWater just to prevent dehydration - which I believe was the reason for the lightheadedness and dizziness.

@Marymouse50, I'd like to know what brand is that fruit flavored Protein Water you mentioned? I had surgery on the 19th and am in need of some idea's for getting my protein and liquids in. I live in a small town and don't have a GNC or place like that but we have Walmart :} Thanks in advance for your help
