Thankyou…hes seeing a dietitian and his gp but doesn’t talk to his surgeon for another month…lost 2kgs over the last 2 weeks. We’ve been careful with his diet…if he eats too much…dumping…weight loss…if he eats less…weight loss…having trouble drinking enough water..they recommend 6-8 glasses a day which he can’t come close to…it’s a daily battle to get enuff calories in despite all the cheese, peanut butter, butter and proteins..

I wouldn’t worry too much about hitting the water number, sip water as best he can. Try high calorie Boost. I added a half a dose of MiraLAX daily, don’t add constipation to your worries.
