If it's easier to drink warm fluids, drink as much as you can of that. Make chicken, beef, or miso broth and add in unflavored Protein Powder. If you have the Unjury chicken Soup Protein, try that. Right now what is most important is hydraftion. Protein is important but secondary. Sip as much as you can. Good luck!

@@PurpleJazz It's a process for sure. I kept a "bucket" of ice next to my chair with Water & Isopure in it. I used a medicine cup to drink out of. When those got to hard to get down I switched to coconut water which is a super hydrator and sipped on that. It's going to take time. Just keep at it and if you can't do cold then do room temp.

Everyone is right. Go slow. Do what you can to stay hydrated. Drink beverages at room temp or warm. Try diluting the Isopure or try another brand. Some parts of this are trial and error. Pain 2 days out is normal.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
