I had sugery 12 days ago,Monterey, CA
I am now drinking about a cup of protein drink with banana's, 1 box of v8 blended soup, sips of water, can't really drink  as much water as I'm soppose to. This is what I get down through out the day. Afraid I might be getting dehydrated because of the small amount of water??? Also my vitmins.  Any responses, Am I doing okay or do I need to be doing more.  Don't have much energy.
Thanks for being here.

Njo...welcome and congratulations on your surgery!

As long as you are following your doctors protocal you should be fine. A lot of us did not get much water in at first....heck I can drink gallons of water and whatever else now....well nothing carbonated however.

For 12 days out sounds like are doing pretty darn good! Just remember...follow your doctors protocal!!!

Good luck!  

Welcome Njo to the Calif board.  You are doing fine, do you drink broth, crystal lite?  That counts as water, I know regular water is the best, but talking dehydration, you can get your water that way.  Hang in there, my energy level is off the hook now, but in the beginning it will be low.

Hi Njobravo and welcome!

Sounds to me like you are doing just as best as you can. Remember, we are all different in what and how much we can tolerate. Try and follow YOUR Dr's orders since all the surgeons requirements are different. If you think water is a problem for you, try the Crystal Light (as stated in another response) or as I had to do, try Propel Fitness water. My pouch couldnt tolerate regular water so I tried Propel and had no problem... well until 3 days ago when my pouch decided that regular water is now better and hates Propel. (Another thing to remember, things change on a dime for no reason!!!)

Congrats and best of luck on your journey!!
