Hi all...I was sleeved on 2/26 and I'm experiencing difficulty with getting in my Water and Protein :( I feel fatigued all the time due to dehydration. I'm a teacher so I'm having trouble remembering to sip all day. What is a helpful schedule to go by to get all my fluids in? I have got to get some energy fast! I'm supposed to drink at least 64 oz of water and 80 g of protein daily. I'm barely getting in 1/3 of that requirement...

Hi, another teacher here! I struggle at times to get liquids in too.I try to get liquids in right away in the morning and eat Breakfast when I get to school. I sip when I can (always have a bottle of Water on my desk) and drink on my prep. I have a 40 minute commute to and from school so whenever I'm in the car I try to have water with me. If you haven't tried the ready to go Premier Protein drinks they have 30 grams of Protein. The taste is well...not too bad :) Congrats on your surgery and good luck!

I too recommend Premier Protein shakes. Lots of Protein and 11oz of Fluid that I am allowed to count towards my water/fluid goal. I drink a lot of pink lemonade crystal light as well. For me, I take 3 Water bottles(48oz) with me to work and it helps me visually see where I'm at throughout the day. Good luck.

I'm exactly a week out from surgery (had mine on March 9th), and I am experiencing the exact same problem! I have a huge Water bottle that I try to bring every where with me (I think it's about 30-40 oz), and that helps, but I very rarely finish the whole thing. I am planning on trying the premier Protein shakes like others have suggested. I will suggest to NOT get the GNC Unflavored Protein powder.... It's gross lol. I figured it would be a great way to add Protein and it gives everything a very chalky taste. I am hoping to get some vanilla Protein Powder to help with making protein smoothies, and hopefully that will help. Good luck!!

Hi, am 3 weeks post op, am trying a shake that my nutritionist recommend it's called infusion bariatric. I make it in water. That helps. I used to chunk on water now it's hard to go with 8 cups a day, remember it's either water or food at one given time. So another thing is choosing fruits that contain lots of water to compensate. Hope it helps

      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.
