It's going to take time. Just take small sips of your liquids throughout the day and know that every day will get better. I'm 8 weeks post-op so those first few weeks are still fresh in my mind. I was able to start taking my vitamins at 2 weeks post-op and that's when I started feeling much better...prior to that I was quite weak...and I had a hard time getting in those liquids. But again - every day gets better. :-)

Moe0112,
Your experience is completely normal so far. Don't worry about lack of nutrients vitamin supplements will carry you through until you can get them with food. At 9 months I'm just now getting most of my nutrients from food.

Your focus now is to get your water first 48 - 64 oz is what most plans ask for. Then the next focus is on protein needs.

We are all here for you so add me and others as friends my diet is open to friends only.

I am just over two weeks out and just now getting energy back slowly. Take it slow and just concentrate on fluid goal first, then protein goal. One day at a time and every day will be different so just take it as your body tells you it needs. I sent you friend request, we have a great group on here for support and much valued. Message for anything you need and Randy is right, another good nurse there
