protein and water intake
i’m 1 week post op and just started full liquids after being on clear liquids the previous days and i honestly didnt think it’d actually be THIS hard to reach my protein/fluids goal😭…
when i was doing clear liquids i was told to not worry about protein yet and to focus on staying hydrated, so this was really my first day trying to hit at least 70g of protein and 48+ ounces of water… however i wasn’t prepared to be feeling so full and so uninterested in food for HOURS after eating 2oz of creamy soup… literally had to go lay down cuz i was stuffed lol so maybe i overate but idk im still figuring out my fullness cues
it took me all day to sip on the same 30g protein shake because i was so full and couldn’t stand the thought of drinking anything else😭 i think today i had around ~35g of protein and 25oz of water. could this be because it was my first day on full liquids and my pouch is so new with more restriction? i’ll be on full liquids for 2 weeks so hopefully i’ll be able to work my way up to reach my intake goals.
