Hi!

I have a question. Yesterday I woke up feeling very thirsty. I got up and took my meds and drank my Protein shake that I tend to sip throughout the day. Yesterday I felt so thirsty right after lunch that from that point on that I stopped drinking my shake so I can fit as much Water in as possible.

I just woke a bit ago and I feel so thirsty! I weighed myself and I lost 5 pounds in 2 days. My ave has been about a pound a day. Is this normal? Am I doing the right thing by drinking water instead of my protein? I drink Isopure. I find water to be way more thirst quenching. I am struggling to get my protein in but I am getting in more as each day passes

I am 12 days post op.

Thanks in advance!

If you're thirsty, you're thirsty. It may be awhile before you can meet the daily fluid AND protein requirements - just keep listening to your body and "feeding" it what it needs. You're only 12 days out - it will get easier!

Is it the Isopure protein water drink in glass bottles or is it the shake? If it's the protein water, you are fine. You need that protein for health reasons and fat lose / muscle gain. Maybe try s.f. popsicles or Jello, if u cant drink water down. Best of luck!

It's the water drink in the glass bottles.

Thank you!

I have never had the type of protien powder that is clear and you can mix with water... From what I understand you do even know you are drinking the protien at all. Honestly, I would suggest looking onto something like that so you can get in all of your daily needs.... It does get easier. Best wishes

It's isopure

My doctor recommended it. Good Protein and they are already pre- made

Thanks everyone for the advice ! I will definitely listen to my body!

I have the exact same problem . I had to do something because I felt like I would end up in the ER for dehydration. I would wake up with an extremely dry tongue and ravaged at ice when I got the chance. I have found that I being only 2 wks out I can't get in both all Proteins and liquids.

I need to buy isopure I heard its easier to take down because of the thinness.

How's the taste? Does it have that after Protein taste?

I feel it's the best, but yes it does have a lil after taste. I make it better by mixing half of it with crystal light lemonade, then I don't notice it. I also freeze it in a popsickle holded I bought at Walmarg for $1.50. For me I get it down faster that way. I still have a hard time getting my protein in , just cuz I get so full so quickly. Good luck & I hope this helps!
