2 Days post op and I can barely get any fluids or protein in. Im just worried it will be a problem. Any suggestions?

Getting your water and protein in is the most important thing for your recovery right now. Even if it is tough, you have to meet those goals. I suggest sipping constantly throughout the day in order to meet your goals. Working toward those goals is really a full-time job in the first few weeks post-op.

Make a schedule to drink you protein and water. Set alerts on your cell phone to remind you to sip every 10-15 minutes.

Thank you guys this is very hard for me.

It will get better. The first few days are among the worst of it in my experience.

I had surgery on Tuesday too and I can't get all my fluids in either , occasionally when I take a drink I get this sharp pain and then I have to burp, is that common

Make sure you are sipping at least for the first week. Drinking room temperature water helped me. The burping is very common. I would have long burping spells for the first two weeks, but I was home and really didn't care, as long as it brought relief.

This is my first time ever posting to a blog, I had my surgery on tuesday also and it is painful when I burp is that normal? and how much water,protien are you suposed to take in 32 oz. Or the whole 64 oz?

Are you guys still on IVs or home from the hospital? Once I was off my IV I felt like drinking more water (I was sleeved 5/2).

Keep sipping! I'm 4 dp today and everyday I am to get more fluids down. Yesterday I reached 50 oz & am hoping to get closer to 64 today.

You're releasing gas. It's normal. You should get 64 onces total.

Ok thank you I thought so I wasn't sure if you were suposed to work your way up to 64oz or just go straight to 64oz

I had the same problem and i am 4 days out and it is getting slightly better. Good luck.

I was sleeved Monday and I struggle to get my fluids and protein in as well. The first few days were rough. My NUT told me my goal was to be able to hit 32 Oz today. I feel like I might actually meet that goal today. I'm not required to hit 64 Oz until at least a week out. And make sure to count everything. A sugar free popsicle is 2 oz. They told me if I had to, eat 16 Popsicles to meet my goal. Lol. Old me would have cheered. New me was wondering how that'd even be possible. Lol

And if you don't like the sugar free fudge pops... you can buy sugar free chocolate fudge pudding and sugar free cool whip and make homemade fudge pops. My Dr was okay with me doing that so I made then in ice cube trays and if I'm struggling and wanting some real food... like I wanted to lick a cheese puff yesterday... I grab one of those and I'm good.
Plus looking at post sleeve recipes on pinter estate has me all excited to start the soft food portion in a week and a half

I was sleeved 5/1. The best way they explained it to me was to sip fluids from a **** glass. One ounce every 30 minutes but slowly working your way to three ounces ever 30 minutes.

I too have has massive gas, but it gets better every day. I find walking really helps take a slow stroll around the block or if it's raining walk around your house. The gas will come.

I've almost had my 64 ounces today. I'll probably be well over. My sister also bought me the sugar free popsicles in red only flavors. Big fan!
