I am six days. Gastric bypass. Today I got in about 30 ounces of water so far and it's 5 p.m. . I had some Jell-O and I had one popsicle and I had a few ounces of vegetable broth. It seems that everytime I drink anything which I do sip comma is an effort. And my stomach and abdomen hurt a lot today as well. Feeling of it frustrated and I know I did not get in today what I should have. Any suggestions to help me get back on track. Thanks!

I know I still have time as it's only 5 p.m. so I'm going to do my best to get in some protein shake. Just wanted to add that

Be kind to yourself! you are still in major healing mode and it is totally normal to not be able to meet all of the vitamin/liquids/protein goals right at first. I think it took me nearly a month to get up to the required amounts. Just do your best and try and do a little bit more each day. I personally focused on liquids first because I didn't want to get dehydrated. Second I focused on protein. Third was vitamins and last was actual food. Before you know it you will be knocking out all of your required amounts without problem And I second the GasX recommendation - the burping is yucky for sure.

Also, Could try if you can afford it, Isopure drinks, they are expensive, but it's short term. It gets you the protein and keeps you hydrated during the day. However, 6 days postop I was still doing protein shakes mixed with water and water only per the doc.
