Hi guys! I’m new here and just two days ago (10/17/17), I had the gastric bypass procedure done! I’m ecstatic about this new chapter in my life and look forward to speaking with you all.

Day 4 post surgery and havent had any trouble. But tend to doubt myself if im sipping right or getting enough protein and water. Just started broth but it dont seem like there is enough time in the day to drink 64oz water get 60grams of protein ect. Does anyone else have these feelings???

Right after surgery your body is in a major heal mode. It is common for individuals to be unable to meet their daily protein and fluid requirements from the get-go. Just keep trying to reach you goals and you should be able to get there within the first couple weeks.

The fluid requirement is met by a combination. It is not only the water that you drink each day. But also the water you drink when you take your vitamins and medicine. It is the milk you drink. It is the fluids content of the protein shakes. It is the water component of the soups you take. It is met by flavored water such as Crystal Light. It is met by sugar free popsicles. It is met by tea and decaf coffee. It is a combination of all the fluids that you consume during the day.

Thank you James!
