Elliot everyone,

Just got sleeve two days ago. Having a difficult time getting Water and Protein in. Any advice?

Take thinks slow and easy. Focus on getting in fluids first and food second. I wasn't able to eat much more than a few bites of popsicle a day for the first week. So I focused on staying hydrated.

Elliot everyone,

I agree, take your time your stomach has to relearn what you want it to do so it takes time. There are liquid proteins out there that you can add to water and it's like drinking vitamin water and it's not chalky like the powders are. Popsicles are great for keeping your fluids up. When you can, try strained cream soups the flavors are great after the initial water and broth you are probably on. Best wishes on your journey.

Congratulations of getting sleeved! My surgery is not scheduled until December 9th so I can't provide you much in the way of advice. Have you tried Isopure, the liquid protein? Perhaps if you sip it slowly? Have you had any amount of pain from your surgery and do you feel hunger or the desire to eat? Best of luck to you!!
