... Water and protein can kiss my butt!! There is no way I'm going to be able to get 60oz of water in, in a day. Or 60grams if protein!! I sip sip sip all day long and I'm lucky to get 20oz of water and 30grams of protein.

My 1st few weeks I was not near the marks for protein or water. At my 2 week apt my NUT said it's really hard to do and just do what you're doing and it will improve with time. More important to stay hyrdrated than to get the protein in the 1 week. SF popsicles helped me out

Hang in there! You gotta stay hydrated! I am going to relate to this post-op too I am sure! I drink ALOT now but after may be a struggle. Take care of yourself and just do your best. Good luck with recovery!

After WILL be a struggle! Drinking enough is a full time job, even at 3 week out!

I am 10 days out and that is about what I get. There is no way to get that much in. I'm losing so it must be ok. I do try all day to sip sip sip! I just can't get it all in.

It'll happen... Soon you'll be able drink, and then it's down to remembering...

I was feeling the exact way. It will definitely get easier once the swelling in your stomach subside.

I'm 2 weeks post op and can easily get my water in. However the protein is totally a different story. I'm lucky to get 40g every day. I hate all the shakes and protein shots. I'm going to try syntax nectar as soon as I get home from the beach and can go to the vitamin shop. It does get easier for the water trust me!!! I'm proof!
