I just had my RNY surgery on January 11th. I’m excited, but also scared for this journey. I’m currently in phase ii and having a hard time getting the 60-80 g of protein daily. I just can’t physically get all the full liquids in either. Any suggestions? Thanks all!

Try alternating between your clear liquids and your protein shakes every hour...

At the start of each hour, pour four little one ounce cups, and try to make a goal of drinking one every 15 minutes in 10 or more tiny little sips. Rest between sips and keep them really teeny.

Don't take naps...you'll lose precious drinking time.

If you just actively make this the goal of your life....you'll get your fluids and protein in. You won't get much else done...but you'll start to feel better and drinking will become much easier the more you drink.
