Protein drinks in first 3 weeks?



Recommended Posts

I'm driving myself batty with what I can and cannot have since being banded on 2/2. I just do not want to mess something up! I have been drinking/sipping Protein Shakes since surgery. I mix the powder with Water, not milk, and each package has 41 grams of Protein. Then, though, I was reading about staying on "clear liquids" for 3 weeks and my Protein Drink is surely not a clear liquid, but how would you get the protein you need through a clear liquid?

Thanks,

Kelli

Hi Kelli,

I had surgery right after you on 2/2 and had the pleasure of meeting your sister and husband in the waiting room. I can give you a sample of what i have been drinking:

A.M.: strawberry GNC whey gold mixed in a blender w/soy milk for extra Protein.

Lunch: R-kane Soup (found on line) high in Protein. Cream of chicken is the best.

Snack:sugar free cherry Jello (jello brand )others are yucky.1 container

P.M.: Choc or Van. GNC whey mixed in blender with Water

Snack:sugar free popsicle (popsicle brand)

I spoke to Kristi regarding "clear" liquids it really means liquid with no chunks or other materials...liquid you can easily sip through a straw.

Remember to drink lots of water..once in a while i slip in alittle diet snapple.

Good luck to you!!!!

Tina,

NO WAY! That's cool, they told me they met another bandste! Sounds like you're eating about what I am except I have regular Campbell's Soup. That clarification is what I've been looking for regarding "clear liquids." Dr. Feng did say in an email to him that I shouldn't have anything creamy which excludes many Soups, but before I knew that I ate some cream of chicken soup which went down great! :biggrin1: I have read here though that many are going to mushies in the third week. Quite honestly, I feel great, just a little dizzy now and then. So, are you waiting until the third week to eat "cream of" Soups?

Here's my home email if you want to touch base. kellib1@comcast.net

Where you in the recovery room right when I came out of surgery? I remember a woman with blondish/brown hair?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
