8 days out. How many Protein shakes were you able to get down at 1 week? Today I finished 2. Plus all my water. Seems like a lot. Don't get me wrong, I'll take it, just seems strange.

Hello. I'm 8 days out also. Today I was horrible with my fluid intake I got to maybe about half of my fluids and one shake. I can do Popsicles all day though. It's the nausea that gets me and it seems like ice or a popsicle is the only thing to stop it. Great job on being able to get to your requirements!

Thanks, I'm just so scared I will stretch something and/or cause a leak. I'm a little paranoid.

You'll be ok Just take your time and don't push past why you feel comfortable with

My first 3 weeks post op I struggled getting 50 gms protein and at least 32 oz of fluid each day. I can confirm it takes awhile and don't push yourself too hard. I am 7 weeks out and can now hit my fluid and protein intake markers. My calorie count is around 600-700 per day and I lose about 2 lbs a week. Good luck and keep reading these threads!
