I'm 3 days post-op. I'm having problems with drinking and keeping clear Liquid Protein down. Any suggestions?

I was sleeved Wed and I am also having the same problems. I hear it gets better each day.

I sure hope so. I think it will be easier when I can add in Protein Shakes. I like the Premier Protein.< br>

I was sleeved Tuesday I started with Protein Shakes when I got home. Cold liquids are definitely a no no.

I'm supposed to do Clear Liquids the first week then add in the full liquids starting week 2. I too have issues with cold liquids.

I was sleeved on Tuesday and am on the same type of follow up diet as you. Clear liquids for the first week, full liquids week 2, and then soft/ moist foods for a couple weeks, etc. I have been doing warm broth and handle it well, as well as Protein Water. I seem to do OK with cold liquids, so I've been having sugar free crystal light and ice water. Bone Broth might be a good idea for you. It's "clear" and has protein in it. Hang in there! Before we know it, we'll be passed this stage!

Try different temperatures - sometimes warm was better than cold, sometimes the opposite. Sometimes with flavor (e.g. crystal light), sometimes plain. Sometimes tea, sometimes coffee, sometimes broth. Keep experimenting. If you are clearly not close to your goal for Protein and Water (I was told to use 60 grams and 64 ounces as my marks, with my shakes counting toward my ounces) call your team. Dehydration can be a big problem. Try some sugar free popsicles, too.

I seem to take broth down the easiest. I can't do anything really cold yet. I noticed the clear Proteins I liked pre-op, I no longer tolerate. I'm be fine when I can do full liquids I think.

I can't wait to just be able to drink somewhat normally. I am CRAVING water, but after the tiniest sip, I feel sick. It's driving me crazy!!!!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
