Hello all .. My name is TJ I’m 30 yr old and I just had the Gastric sleeve. On February 27,2018 and I can get 11 oz of. Protein down over a few hr.. and I can get the Crystal light down .. but please don’t judge me I can’t get water down..

And do one have any suggestions for this pain at the incision??

Or the pain when swollen?

It is common for individuals to be unable to meet their daily protein and fluid goals during the first couple weeks after surgery. This is because your body is in a major heal mode. Just keep working towards those daily goals and you should soon be able to get there.

Pedialyte and pedialyte mixed with powerade zero helped me stay hydrated in the first few days, also sugar free popsicles.

As for pain ice packs, heating packs, and walking helped me (pain meds if it's too much.

Thank y’all I’m going to give it a try

I was sleeved on 2/28 and also having a hard time with water intake. Feels like I take in too much air. I just keep sipping and walking. Getting better everyday. Good luck!!

Walking is the best medicine! Try sugar free popsicles to help with fluid intake.
