I believe I'm day 13 post op. I have been trying to eat two ounces but I rather have something to drink. That's all I do is sip on my drink non stop. I'm always thirsty. I do get the urge to eat a little but when I take one bite I'm stuffed but I try to eat more. Then I'm miserable and then I can't wait to have my drink because I'm dying of thirst. I'm not sure how to handle this !??

I'm day 14.. Basically having the same problem as you! They say to eat 4 oz but I can't even make it to 2 because I'm soooo full. But I think you're supposed to eat slowly and span it out within a half hour so you could get that food in. And as for the drinking, idk what to do either!

Protein2O is pretty good. 15g of Protein in a bottle. Grape is my favorite followed by wild cherry.

They sell clear Protein drinks at most Vitamin stores. I don't care for most fruit flavored liquids, so they didn't appeal to me. My NP told me she really didn't care how much Protein I got in for the first week or so, but she did care about liquids. I drank gatorade (not G2) mixed 50/50 with Water, one shot glass as a time for a week.

I did drink a Protein shake per day as well, but that took forever. I put it in my Tervis Tumbler, poured over ice and sipped at it all day because my restriction was so great. I figured the Water from the melting ice was helpful to me, too.

As my NP said, I could easily go a week or so without food, or I wouldn't need WLS. Water, not so much. You do need to incorporate food as soon as you can (in the recommended form as per your surgeon) for energy and healing, but it's not as urgent as staying hydrated. Or in my case, semi-hydrated.

At 14 days, I started soft foods. I could only eat 1/3 cup, but that was ok. Eat that little dab if you can, but focus on fluids like the others are recommending.

How many ounces are you getting in?

Like others said, don't worry about eating at this point if it's too uncomfortable. My postop plan had me on full liquids for almost 3 weeks, so eating food wasn't even on my radar at 13 days out. It's easy enough to drink your Protein.

      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.
