Having trouble drinking water

Having soo much trouble drinking my water! I have been feeling really light headed and tired. I went to the doctor and got my blood work done. It came back that I'm not getting enough vitamin D and protein, my doctor told me I need to drink more, but I find it so hard! BTW I am almost 2 years out, I got to figure something out, got my whole life time of this! I have never regretted my surgery but never though it would be this hard getting the liquids and protein in. If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them, thanks and god bless.

           
   I read every thing their is to read about Gastric- by- Pass talked to people in person and on the broads for almost two years waiting for surgery.  Had surgery exact one month ago.  Sure I have lose 42 pounds in one month which amazing and what I wanted. But it has been a month and I still get any solid protein down actually.   I can,t get anything down but, soups.  I sorry to say this but been chewing the meat them spit it out.  I can get it down no matter how much I chew or how hard I try.   One  bite and I am in pain.  After serveral time of this.  I am just afraid to eat any thing period.  I know have not been getting enough protein.  Been drink protein shakes to make up for it.  But, never thought it would be this hard to drink a protein shake.  I am so afraid i am going to lose my hair. It i new I would be able ever eat real food again.  I could just bought the protein shakes and skipped the surgery.

I have a good recipe for iced green tea I'll postm but why are you  trying to eat meat a month out? When I had surgery, 1/21/10, we were told not to eat meat until at least week6, you should be on mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs, etc...

Try this, it's better than the stuff Lipton makes. I use 3 bags of tea and don't notice a diffrence. Water annoys me too. I have a Brita on the counter as room temperature water is easier to tolerate for me.

When my daughter had her surgery she could not drink water either (she had AWAYS had a glass beside her before).  Anyway She found that adding juice made all the difference,  and now she is drinking water again.  She got interesting flavors at a health food store with no sugar added.  Hope this might help....Sam

5 Years post op and I still have issue with water

 Doris, Are you pureeing your meat? I'm 2 weeks out and everything has to be pureed. Not the tastiest at times,but there is no way I could chew foods and get them down now if I wanted to. I add about a 1/2 c of  chicken broth to my 2oz. of  chicken or pork,then I divide it into 2 meals since I can only eat 2 oz total at dinner.  My nutritionist even recommends stage 2 baby food as an option right now. I have a few because it's the perfect portion sizes for this stage. I agree with the gentleman above.. my orders were 2 weeks liquids,2 weeks puree,2 weeks soft then graudually add other stuff as tolerated. Do you have a nutritionist? My doctor and nutritionist work together closely and gave me great guidlines to go by after surgery.. I have a packet I look at daily and would be lost without it. I would be happy to copy it for you or scan into my computer for you. It's very helpful.
