It's been a struggle, to be honest. I've been feeling sluggish. All I want to do is sleep and stay away from everybody in my house when they eat food because I'm on the full liquid diet and very bored with it. It's been hard to make my hydration goal, but I think I'll make it tonight. I'm gonna do crystal light. I'm also struggling with the protein goal. I get half way to my protein goal by the end of the night. I walk for 20 minutes a day, but probably need to walk more. I'm trying to stay positive, but this week has been a real struggle. I hope next week gets better on the puree stage.

I completely understand. Day 4 through 7 were the most difficult abd emotional days for me, it was hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I made dinner for my family for the 1st time last night (I had done precooking and freezing for them) and that was rough for me. Managed not to cry but its not easy. Listen to your body and rest, you need it. We are healing and not eating. My surgery was 4/14 and I can say it does get better. All I can think about is wanting cream of wheat and cottage cheese but I'm trying to stay greatful that I could add yogurt and v8. You so got this, just take comfort in the fact that you are not alone and we are all here and going through it and ready to support eachother

If you have a hard time finding a crystal light flavor you tolorate you could also try cirkul. They have special bottles that fit cartridges and what’s good is you can adjust the intensity of the flavor. I haven’t ordered one yet because they are a bit pricey compared to my generic crystal light but early out after surgery that could have been a game changer when fluids were a challenge. My aunt is the one who turned me onto it. They sell them at bed bath and beyond but they have more to choose from and you get stuff free if you order direct on Their website.of course you can also adjust the intensity of the flavor of crystal light by just slowly adding water if you want too. But it is something to keep in mind cause the flavors are different.

The hydration is so very important for energy and recovery. Just think every time you go pee you are flushing fat away that will never return. If you are able to have V-8 you can add unflavored Isopure to it for a whopping 25gm of quality protein. The protein is what we need to heal tissues and maintain muscle mass. I love to nap but I set an alarm so I can stay up on fluids. My RNY was 4-5-22. Each week has been better. Increasing my walks helped with my sluggish feeling.

Also might try Propel or Gatorade Zero packets for some variety. I get a 50 variety pack on Amazon for around $14. The unflavored Isopure melts well with a cpl shakes and I like theses flavors better than Crystal Light.
