Need Help

I am sure this very question is posted somewhere on here but as I just joined I don't really want to go through every post to find my answer. I was sleeved on May 1st I am keeping liquids down for the most part but so far I think I have only drank one 32 oz bottle of water and a little bit of gater aide. I have had 4 oz of sugar free pudding and a little jello and half of a atkins shake. I know I am not getting enough of anything starting to feel dzzy. any suggestion on how to get more protein added in here. I do have unflavored protein powder and tried and I thought for sure I was going to throw up it was just horrible

You just have to keep trying. The first couple of weeks are the hardest to get stuff down while you are healing. Keep drinking the Protein shakes-Premier Protein has 30g of protein per shake-sells at Costco/not sure where else. You have to make your self drink every few min or so to get it all in. The more you try the faster it will improve. Good Luck!

Remember that your Protein shakes (or any non caffeinated liquid) count toward your daily hydration. Its very common to feel lightheaded in the first week or two as your body adjusts to the very low calorie consumption, but I think you'll be fine. Try drinking some chicken broth (not cream soup) a few times per day to keep your sodium balanced and you'll feel better.

Hang in there and just think one sip at a time. It's daunting at first but it gets easier.
