I am 6 days post opp and am feeling pretty good. I am off my narcotic pain meds and not too sore. I am just having a hard time drinking enough liquid and getting all of my Protein. It sits fine in my stomach I just have zero appetite! I hit 50 g of protein and about 45 oz of Water today but could not do any more. Does any one have any good tips on how to get through this? I have my post opp class tomorrow and go to my puréed foods so maybe that will be easier. Thanks

You will get there. That is actually pretty good for so soon out. It should get a lot easier in the next few days when the swelling has gone down. I remember day 8 suddenly being able to drink more water!

The milk or Water you're using in your Protein drinks counts towards your water goal. Sounds like you're doing just fine! It gets easier every day.

That's about what I was getting in as well. My Bariatric Team was not concerned. They just wanted me to try to increase every few days.

I concur with everyone else here- you're still healing! Just try to increase a tiny bit every day and you will get there!
