I had my gastric sleeve on 8/26, so I am only 3 days post-op. I am currently on phase 2 liquid diet. The problem in having is that anytime I try to drink my Protein shake, it really bothers my stomach and I can't even get half way through it. Cold Water goes down fine. In just scared I'm not getting the required 50 - 60 grams of Protein a day I'm suppose to be.

Try doing it slower, i had my surgery on 8/25 and i was getting a bit nauseous as well, what i had to learn to do is to control myself and go slow. and it usually works. now it goes down, not easily or tasty but it goes down and it stays down!

I was supposed to aim for 20-30 grams of Protein at that point, and struggled to make that. 50-60 seems ambitious...

I'm 6 days out and supposed to be aiming for 60-90 grams a day. I managed to get to 35 today.

try warm broth and unflavored Protein powder

Ditto. You have to mix it up. I could not do shakes for a week or so after surgery. Now back though one flavor is still off for me.

broth Water Jello try Protein in as many different options as you can to find the right fight for you-- and know it may change from day to day or week to week.

I remember those first couple days.....

I only tried for 1-2 ounces of Protein shake per hour and sipped Water in between.

It took a few days to get up to having two Premier Protein shakes per day.

Don't try to rush it....you'll get there.

Don't worry about it . Everyone's different . Don't force yourself to consume out of fear. The targets are to aim for not as an immediate goal. I'm five weeks post and still have to go slow things are getting better day by day . Make sure you get a good liquid multi Vitamin and mineral complex daily and drink as much fluids as you can. You can only do this by constantly sipping. Fluid is more important than food . Best wishes xox

That was almost a month ago. Have you told your Dr? You need nutrition to heal and to live. You need Protein, it is not optional.

@@jurisjitsu If you're truly getting NO Protein, you need to see your surgeon ASAP. Are you taking in any fluids at all? If you are, you can mix an unflavored protein powder with that Fluid to get something in. You HAVE to have protein.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
