Getting Enough??
Hey Guys!!!
Now that i'm back from surgery... and on the clear liquid diet (yuck) I have some new issues! I am finding it VERY hard to drink the required daily amount! I get full so fast! Did any of you have this problem???? I'm getting worried about becoming dehydrated or not getting enough protein. I'm hoping this is only hard for me because im only 3 days post op..... any suggestions? Oppinions? Thanks so much for your help!

My surgeon said for the first 4 weeks to 'do the best you can'... just keep sipping and getting as much as possible. Remember that your liquid protein also counts towards your water so as long as you keep sipping all day you should be getting in a decent amount of fluids and protein :-)
Just keep working on it and as time passes you will find it easier... once you heal some and swelling goes down etc you can drink more at a time etc!
