I'm huge on networking and would like to connect and talk to people who are getting the surgery done around the same time as I am or a few weeks before me. I am very very excited and want to share my journey!

Hey guys! I was sleeved December 11th! Down 17 pounds I'm still struggling with getting all my protein and water in. I just don't understand how we're supposed to get down 64 ounces of water PLUS 60-100 gm of protein! I've been working on this 11 ounce protein shake for three hours!

I hope everybody is doing well who had surgery and good luck to those who are about to go under!

XOXO

I got one shake and one bottle of water down today. I think it's impossible. My biggest problem is the pain when I drink. It hurts so bad that I can't do it.

My dietitian told me its 64oz of liquid (sugar free, caffeine free, non-carbonated) and that the shakes count as part of the liquid requirement. So ... 3 protein shakes count as 24oz of the liquid requirements. That makes it easier. :-)

Still having that intense pain after I swallow right between my boobs. It hurts so so so bad & I get it every time I drink.

I have to break up the fluid. 2 oz of protein shake then 15 minutes later 2 oz of water. 15 minutes later 2 oz of tea or coffee or soup them 2 oz of water. Then start over again. I bought high protein shake powders to reach the 60 to 80 oz requirements.

Same here, I've been told 48oz for women 60 oz for men. I have only been able to do 2 protein shakes a day totaling 16 oz and an additional 16oz of clear liquids. Its night 3 home and I've had 32 oz total for my highest. Its hard but we can do this!

that can be from drinking too much at once and/or gas. I still have that feeling also, sucks but my friend is 2 weeks post op and she was just able to get rid of the gas.

That gives me hope!

I had the sleeve done on December 17 I was having heartburn and trouble with the pain as well if I switch between water and the shake seemed to help a lot

I think it's so interesting how we all have different post op requirements. I was told to drink the protein in 3 meal per day increments to achieve 60g. Then consume 64 additional oz of liquid for the hydration. I can't imagine how that s possible without stretching the sleeve and without pain.

My surgery was the 15th of this month. I somehow managed to come through it with flying colors, never needed any pain meds or any nausea meds, really only had a little bit of discomfort at one incision site. well boy am I paying now with constipation. Please make sure you are all either drinking some Fiber, there are non flavor ones that you can add right to your Water or maybe take a stool softener. Good Luck everyone and Happy Holidays.

Just doing a check in.. How is everyone doing? I was sleeved the 16th and I am 30lbs down! (Starting firm liquid diet) I hope everyone is well and having a great time
