I had my sleeve 3 days ago, and the pain wasn't as bad as I was anticipating. But I'm not sure how I'm going to get in all my protein and water.

Slowly.

Does your surgeon have you on all clears the first 2 weeks? That is what mine did. You can't really get much protien in at that point. They said I didn't have to worry about it until my soft phase. I start that Sunday.

Most doctors have you on clear liquids while in the hospital and FULL liquids when you go home. Protein drinks that are thinner like Nectar go down easier. Just do the best that you can. At first you are constantly putting something in your mouth. Every 15 minutes you should be drinking an ounce. I still take a bottle of water to bed with me and drink some every time I'm awake enough to think about it. I am 14 months out and chose to keep my stomach smaller so its still challenging to get 64 ounces of liquid in every day. You just have to make everything you put in count! Best wishes to you!

I was curious about this as well.I'm on a clear liquid diet till Monday but I'm having trouble getting 64oz of fluid. Today has been a little easier but still no where near 64oz my I feel so full all day long and it's sometimes hurts when I drink if I don't wait atleast 20 minutes between sips. Does it get easier to drink or am I going to always feel like I'm so full after drinking an oz of liquid?

I hope it does get easier. I keep water and the protein drink rite there in front of me.
