Good luck! It's painful, I'm going to tell you the true I do pretty well with pain, had my surgeries, from c section to gall bladder removal, Tummy Tuck and more but I never feel some of discomfort. Only on day 3 maybe that why.

@ home now. Trying to drink Protein and Water, feels weird. My back hurts a lot, maybe from the hospital bed. I feel tired but Dr. said it's normal. How do you guys drink enough?

HI foodfighter78!

I'm in pain too and find that If I slack on the tylenol it's not good. My doc has me taking children's liquid tylenol round the clock and oxycodone on top. I need both I have found out.

I'm having trouble with the liquid today. I only got in one Premier Protein shake and started another. I couldn't tell if my pain was being too full or just pain so I didn't push it. But, I'm supposed to drink 3 per day to get at least 75gms Protein in. I was really tired and took a nap so that put me behind.

I'm trying to do 1 oz every 15 minutes but when I do the liquid tylenol I have to count that too because it takes me 1/2 hour to get that down. I just don't want to get dehydrated.

I had 2 c-sections and hysterectomy and a Tummy Tuck before too and this is some other kinda pain. But I know everyone is different. I also had hernia repair so????

Stick with it, you are not the only one struggling to get it in. Tomorrow's a new day!

What is everyone's secret to getting the Protein and Water in?

Do you just sip right from the premixed Protein Drink? (Premiere Protein)

How much at a time?

Water? How much at a time?

I had bypass on 3/16 and I have not been able to hit two shakes (60g) Protein drinks and only about 16 oz water. I'm constantly full and can't decide if I've pushed it too far or it is pain but I'm uncomfortable all day!

Same surgery day and I have the same problem. Today I drink 1oz of shake every 15 min, so I actually time my phone. Someone else in a post suggest that. And it works. For water didn't work. Even only 1 sip makes burp and feel very full. I wait 45 min between shake and water, I try camomile tea, warm, try cold water. But it's very uncomfortable.

Good morning everyone, I had RNY on 3/11. I'm shocked by the pain and discomfort I'm still experiencing 10 days later. I was having a hard time getting Protein and Water in as well. I saw in a previous post that GENEPRO has 30g in each serving. Its spendy, I ordered it from Amazon. Its non flavored, no smell. I have been adding it to broth, its actually pretty good. As for water I'm managing about 48 oz a day.

I'm so close to stage 3, I never thought I'd be excited to have scrambled eggs :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
