Hello everyone! I'm new here!
Had my RNY on Wednesday morning at 8:20a.m. I'm on my 3rd day post-op and I've had no major issues other than pain. I've not thrown up or anything. I keep Isopure down fine, Water fine, Protein chicken broth OK etc.
I was sent home saying two weeks post-op clears but then "shakes" were on the list.
Before I was discharged the hospitals bariatric coordinator came in and went over some of the dues and don't with me. She said protein shakes were fine but specially talked about the house brand my doctors office sells AND like the unjury ones they also offer. Again she doesn't specifically work for my bariatric doctors BUT with them.
Grand Health Partners was the group that did my RNY btw.
Anyway I asked about Premier Protein and Muscle Milk because I have like 10 cases of those filling my frig.
The bariatric coordinator pauses and said "well, previously I've always told patients those were fine but recently I think with the last 6 months or so I had Grand Health Partners call me and ask me to stop recommending them post-op because they are not OK".
She said the did some amino acid tests and a bunch of other stuff on the various shakes and Premier and Muscle Milk were not good for you post-op. Again previous to this she said they were fine but these are brands GHP does not sell. Now is that because they are really not recommended or because they just don't sell them?
They sell Core Power, Unjury etc and recommend those!
