I'm doing pretty well so far. No real pain, but I'm struggling to get in more than 20 oz of water and 35g of protein. I'm lightheaded and I'm sure it's due to the dehydration. I'm so ready for puréed food. Any advice you have would be appreciated.

Warm decaf tea. hope you feel better

Hydration is more important than protein at this point. Sugar-free popsicles, warm herbal tea-- experiment with temperatures and flavors to find something you can sip on all day. A little bit all day adds up.

G2 and water mixed. Helps with electrolytes.

Get you some Premier Protein premade shakes (they have 30g of protein, low carb, low sugar) - focus on staying hydrated but try to get those protein shakes in. The protein will help you heal quicker. I know it is a challenge but it is temporary and before you know it you will be loving your sleeve! P.S. You can buy the Premier Protein shakes at Sam's Club, Costco or Amazon

Thank you all so much! These ideas will be put to the test. :-)
