So I am 5 days Post op. I am suppose to have my 3 shakes a day (60grqms) of Proteins d then 64 ounces of liquid. I BARELY do two shakes a day and two glasses of liquids. I'm not starving but I am seriously worried of complications being that I am not getting the required dosage of Protein and liquids. :/.

Also worried because I know how important this is for healing and more !! Anyone else having this similar problem. ??

You had the sleeve done? You're feeling hungry or is it your body knows you need to be eating, so your body thinks you're hungry?

Yes I was sleeved on January 31. Now not drinking my shakes or drinking Water or liquids really

I have yet to drink 64 oz..and I am 3 weeks post op. I am in the 50 oz range....I have never been a drinker..but I am trying. Don't forget your Protein shakes count towards liquids. Keep trying.

Thank you. Ugh trying so hard!!

Just keep trying. I'm almost a month out and I still struggle every day and don't hit my goal every day. But every night I just vow to try try again the next day. It'll get better!

It took me about 2 months post op to steadily get my required Protein and liquids in. You just keep working at it. Stop when you're full and start again when your body makes room. Your stomach is still swollen and healing so it isn't gonna be easy in the very beginning. Just do your best and it will steadily get easier to take in what is required.

Really means a lot everyone !!!!

For my 2 weeks post-op. My goal is one premier protien shake and two 16.9oz water bottles. Surgeon's orders.

Ok! So what it's important to know is that you have goals of 80-90g protein each day and at least 64 oz of water. But you are just out of suregry and in recovery. It's highly unlikely you will hit your goals for weeks yet. Just keep trying.

Keep a journal or log of all your intakes. Make sure you are slowly increasing each day. You WILL get there, it just takes time and you are only 5 days out. My doc said to keep trying and focus on the goals but understand we can't reach them right away. Our tummies are just too new and swollen.

However, you send in your second post that you aren't drinking your shakes or water. What are you eating/drinking and at what frequency? It's one thing to not hit your goals but it's another to be not taking in anything. You will get very sick that way.

Do you log your intakes? If so what does the last few days look like?

Really really appreciate it!!

I didn't follow my liquid intake either. You're not gonna die. It does get easier. Don't worry and keep at it. You will get there

I was also sleeved on 1/31 and I have a hard time getting 64oz in. I'm usually between 40-50. Keep trying you will get there.
