Hi all, I had my gastric sleeve done on 12/17! It’s been wild but tame for me. I am having pain, not terrible but I think it is gas, haven’t had to use much of the pain killers because it is totally bearable. Trying to get all my protein in is a bit difficult, but everyday is a bit easier. So far since starting the liquid diet, I am down 25lbs woot woot! I’m excited to be on this new path, any suggestions on how I can ensure I get enough water and protein during this time? I can barely eat a cup of jello without feeling full for the whole day.

Congratulations, you're on your way! ? As far as getting water in, in the beginning I had to sip, sip, sip all day. You can't chug anymore, so letting yourself get really thirsty is super uncomfortable. Small sips, very often.

Congratulations!!! It's pretty much impossible to meet your protein goals in the beginning, so just focus on keeping yourself hydrated. Sip, sip, sip all day long!!!

Best of luck to you!!!

Thanks for your advice, I have been doing as frequently as I can, I find I am getting a lot of gas from the water

I notice that I get gas from water only if I sip one too many sips. So I try to sip no more than two sips at a time.
