5 days post op RNY

Jan 04, 2009

Hey everyone, I am doing great except I know I am not getting in enough fluids.  I am not hungry and the protein shakes I thought I was going to have for my 3 weeks fluids, just do not sit well on my little pouch.  The drink feels way to heavy when I drink it and causes me some pain.  I was drinking the EAS low carb protein, but will have to move on to boost or ensure, somehing lighter.  Is anyone else having problems getting in all the liquids in one day.  I was told to drink 24 ozs of protein and 64 ozs of fluid.  There is no way I can get all that in, in  days time. I do not think I am even getting in 24 ozs of protein in a day.  I try to make sure I drink more protein than regular fluids, but it is about the hardest thing I have ever had to do.  But great news, I was taking 5 meds for diabeties, 2 for high blood pressure, 2 for cholesterol and I am taking nothing for diabeties and 1 for my blood pressure which I belive will be dropped soon and nothing for my cholesterol.  I also had been diagnosed with sleep apnea and while I was in the hospital I did not have to use my CPAP machine the first time.  I thank God for at lesst being healed of all my health probelms and the weight will just be an added bonus.  I believe in this website and I believe we all will help each other through our hard times.  I about knew what to expect with my surgery, by the posts from all the great members on here.  Thanks to all of you and I hope I can help others to come.  - Teresa
