Protein Intake Question.

[katiethone64 26]

I'm 4 days post op and having a really hard time hitting my Protein goal today. Water is about all I can get down. Everything else is nauseating and impossible. Anyone else experience this post op? I'm hoping tomorrow is better, but today has been rough as far as intake goes. Blah!

My surgeon said to just focus on getting fluids in the first two weeks and not worry about Protein. You will eventually hit you Protein goal but don't push it this early in the process. Just make sure you are getting your fluids these first few days and gradually increase your protein as you're able to tolerate it better.

I don't think I hit my Protein goals to often the first week. My Water intake barely add goal I just kept at it so I didn't get dehydrated. My pouch was very sensitive to old the first 2 weeks I am so glad that has resolved. Also it only liked really small sips or it would ache and cramp. Much better now. Give it time to heal it is still swollen and in shock!

Thanks! I have my follow up with the doctor on Monday, I'll trail too him more about it then. I'm still pretty gassy and my stomach is constantly gurgling. Anything that smells or tastes even remotely sweet nausiates me. Water has been my best friend simply because its flavorless!
