I wouldn't do it...your in that time period of pain and trying to get liquids down is a struggle...everyone's body reacts differently but you have take care of yourself and you don't need to take any chances with your recovery and health after having major surgery.

Nervous about my surgery date!
mamafine23 replied to RDCLambert's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was okay until the night before, I thought about if it was really worth it if something went wrong . I have 4 daughters and I just didn't know...I also was going to miss food but in the end , whatever will be will be...you have to go in knowing your doing this for the right reason and as long as you do everything you should, it should be ok -
I use quest bars particularly vanilla almond crunch is my favorite right now. I use unflavored unjury in orange juice and it doesn't change the flavor or texture. Pure protein bars at Walmart has 20 grams of protein and 1 gram of sugar ... Lightly salted cocktail peanuts gives you about 7 grams of protein for 1 oz. perfect portions Quaker oats oatmeal is another 6 grams of protein ...

Did your Menstral Change after Surgery?
mamafine23 replied to kparadisek's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have a tilted uterus so I never had nexplanon... Did the depo shot and so did my friend, she gained 39 lbs and no matter what she did couldn't take the weight off until she stopped getting the shot and a year later... My periods have been heavy and unpredictable ... Considering what we go through to lose weight, I wouldn't use anything that may help with gaining weight -
Unjury unflavored protein mix , by far the best unflavored protein to add

Don't give up and don't always go by what the ins says either ..unfortunately it is sometimes the blame game ..I work for health insurance and although I would hope everyone has their crap together and on the same page it doesn't always seem that way... Don't give up;) -

how is there enough time in the day to get all these fluids in?
mamafine23 replied to bloreorbust's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My dr said you may get 60 grams of protein but your not actually absorbing 60...I'm trying to get to 80....I have added salted peanuts to my day and make sure that each time u do eat , I get at least 20 grams -
The same thing happened to me, ordered the pro active and within 2 weeks cleared up ...only use it once a day instead of twice like it suggests but it works and is worth it
