Hi, I was sleeved on 7/13 and yet to be able to get my protein in... It makes me sick to drink it.. I am not getting enough water either maybe 20 oz a day.. I have lost 29 lbs and have hit the nightmare STALL.. I think it might be because I am not drinking protein..

Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks alot,
Angela

hang in there angela.  i also can't stomach protein.  i tried drinking little bits right after surgery (you're about 2 wks out right?) but didn't force myself to the point of getting sick.  you can also try plain greek yogurt with equal or splenda in it -- lotsa protein.  just get as much of whatever you can get in, in and be kind to yourself.  it really does get better!!!  (((((((((hugs)))))))

Hi,
Did you try the premiere protein drinks by Costco?  They are great!
Also EAS Strawberry or Chocolate very good too!
Nonfat milk, greek yogurt, low fat cottage cheese, all higher proteins which will help you!
Chike nutrition has great shakes you blend with water or non fat milk.
Try putting nonfat milk, greek yogurt and 1 or 2 sugar free orange popsicles in the blender!
Really good !
Good luck!

Dehydration is your biggest risk.  And dehydration will cause nausea.  Call your PCP and have them tell you where you can most easily get in for an IV bag (or 2) of fluids.  Don't wait the weekend!
