I was sleeved 8/29. I can only get 50g (1.7 oz)of anything down. I'm not worrying too much about it right now. I'm trying to focus more on getting my fluids in. I'm finally getting 2 liters in each day. Protein varies. Some days I get 62g and other days 15. It's a work in progress for sure.

I start at 6:30 in the morning with 1/2 liter of water and usually finish by 8. I have something for breakfast at 8:30 and then wait 30 minutes and start drinking again. It's like a full time job! I try to get in a 1/2 liter before each meal and before bed. It's not easy but the idea of dehydrating freaks me out.

I also have a hard time tolerating the Protein shakes..and most make me nauseous. Now (6 weeks out) I can have the Protein Bars, and can tolerate them, although it seems like I'm eating a candy bar. I still have a hard time getting the required 60 to 80 grams of protein a day, all I can do is around 50. Any suggestions?

Im a little over 11 months out and I can comfortable tolerate 3 ounces of dense Protein, less dense protein like tilapia I can push 4 but I have to eat very very slowly.
