how is there enough time in the day to get all these fluids in?



Recommended Posts

I just don't see how there is enough time in the day to get in the 48-64oz of Water along with another 100g of Protein. How on earth do you do it? Can I count my Liquid Protein into my other liquids?

My surgeon and nutritionist say I can count it towards liquids. Again every surgeon is different though.

Well that's a relief! I put off taking a nap because I needed to be awake to drink more lol. So that means I'm a lot closer to my liquid goals than I thought. YAY!

My dr said you may get 60 grams of Protein but your not actually absorbing 60...I'm trying to get to 80....I have added salted peanuts to my day and make sure that each time u do eat , I get at least 20 grams

Try egg whites as a way to help you get your goal in. You just add it to your drink and you never know that it's in there. I add mine to my Powerade and turn a 0g drink into about 50g Protein Drink. Each pump is 3.3g of Protein. So you can add as little and as much as you want. You don't taste. Make sure it is double pasteurized egg white and not what you get at the grocery store. Also when you add it to your drink stir your drink don't shake.< /p>

Yup, 100g a day. Got it in the packet info they gave me. So far I am making it to about 60-70. But, up until yesterday I thought I had to count liquids and Protein separately. Should be fine now that I understand better. Thanks all!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
