Too much protein and water?



Recommended Posts

I'm 4 days post op and got in 3 Protein Shakes for a total of 84g Protein and drank about 50oz Water. Seems like too much according to what others have posted. Should I be concerned?

That's great! I struggled to get in my 60g of Protein the first few weeks, and still struggle with my liquids almost 8 weeks out...

That's great! I'm almost 2 weeks out and I'm really struggling with hydration. I'm getting close to hitting that 64oz goal, but close ain't cutting it judging by how dehydrated and crappy I feel!

Im 5 days out and I'm having a hard time with liquids too. Everything I drink makes me feel nauseous. It is getting a little better than it was the day after surgery but I feel like I'm not getting enough liquids down. I'm also tired of everything I am drinking. Plain Water makes me feel really sick so I'm doing crystal light and Popsicles etc. but just getting so tired of those same drinks. My son was drinking a cold bottle of water and it looks so good I just want to pick it up and chug it like I used to be able to do. This is getting really frustrating!

Sounds great to me. Are you including the shakes into your 50oz of Water? If so, you probably want to focus a bit more on hydration. Remember, frat priority is hydration, then Protein.

You are doing great though!!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
