I am 3 days post op and I am able to get my 75g of Protein in but I am only getting about 50 ounces of Fluid because everything I swallow gives me a cramping/spasm sensation it doesn't last long but it does happen. Any suggestions.

Try drinking things at different temps - you may be able to tolerate one over the other.

yes on the different temps! but I just kept drinking and dealt with the cramping pain because in the hospital they reassured me I wasn't injuring myself to do so. it lessens pretty quickly - you should be coming to the end of it soon.

Thank you I've been doing different temps but it still happens good to know that it will stop soon

Wow 3 days post op i was barely able to get an 8oz protein shake in over the course of the whole day

If you are getting 50 ounces in at 3 days post op you are doing well. You are going through a healing process so you can't expect to get in so quickly. After my sleeve 2 years ago it took me 3 to 4 weeks to get that much Fluid in. You'll get to the goal amounts don't rush yourself. I am having a revision to RNY in August so I'm dreading having to do it all again.

I am constantly sipping and this is over the course of about 14-16 hours in a day. At discharge they made me feel like i should be able to do it with no problems so it's good to know that this is something I'll have to work into

You definately don't want to do too much too fast right after surgery. You are still healing. Also you are all swollen inside so your sleeve is extra small right now.
