Make sure you get all your water in, along with your Protein drink, aim to drink 60-75g of protein and about 68 oz that would be 4 to 6 oz each hour (Sugar free ice cream pops, decaf ice tea, broth) It's. Not easy with that small Tummy but it must be done.

I find it is not a problem to get all my water in. I just sip all day long. But I'm not able to get in all my protein. I find sweet stuff (those pre-op protein shakes) to no longer be tolerable. But I am making sure to stay hydrated.

Hang in there. In couple of weeks it gets easier!!!!

Thanks, i have been drinking more water, it's hard to drink the Protein it just grosses me out!! But I'm trying!!

I asked my docs assistant if broth counts to my water or the water in my shakes or jello and she said no, my water needs to be on top of those things, but that doesn't seem right to me. Any thoughts?

After gastric can you have sugar free hello and sugar free popcicles? I didn't think you could have anything to hot or to cold.

Jello* sorry

My doc has it on my list for pre and post op

I live off of SF popcycles. and yes broth jello SF puddings cream soups all.count as fluids even protein shakes

Cold things cause esophageal spasms for me and they suck majorly. I can only do room temp anything.

Clear Liquid 0-3 days hydration is very important. What you can have. Water, Isopure, Crystal light, Diet Snapple, broth, Decaf Tea/ Coffee, Propel water, SF Popsicle/ Jello and Ice Chips. My coordinator said Isopure does not count as a Liquid.. sheez

isopure doesn't count as liquid? oh hell. I'm in trouble then. isopure is all I got going for me right now.

Go figure it has on thr Isopure as a liquid. But I guess not as a Hydration liquid ( but more like liquid meal) ugh

isopure does count. my surgeon and NUT both says so

Thank God. Because all I'm able to get down is 1 20oz isopure a day. I know that isn't enough, but I'm working on it.

try drinking milk too. it has some protein and counts as fluid. I also bought true lemon just to add to water. after awhile you get tired of all things sweet
