Amazing Clear Drink Recipe For 1st Week Post-op



Recommended Posts

Hi All,

Any newbies worried about getting enough Protein that first week on clears? I was, until I made up this delicious "cocktail" that satisfied quotas for Water, protein, flavor, and settled my sensitive tummy all at the same time! Here's the recipe below. You can sip this all day long and not have to worry about meeting your daily protein needs.

You will need:

1 bottle Isopure whey Protein Drink, new Green Tea flavor

1 bottle Glaceu Vitamin Water Lemonade flavor, reg or diet.

Mint leaves (aka "yerba buena")

Lemon slices

Plenty of ice cubes

1. Tear several mint leaves at bottom of a tall glass, Mojito-style. (DON'T crush, or you might drink them)

2. Fill glass with ice cubes. Pour equal parts Isopure Green Tea & Vitamin Water Lemonade.

3. Garnish with lemon slices. (Or skip if the acid bothers you)

Try making a pitcher to sip and enjoy all thru the day and know you are getting enough protein. The mint leaves are gentle on your stomach, ease gas and have all sorts of healing properties. Just ask any grandma who has some growing wild in her backyard, like mine did. The mint does add an amazing flavor as well. Be careful not to accidentally swallow the actual leaves. I thought to add some real green tea, but was told to stay away from caffeine.

Anyone else have a similar creation to help others get thru that first week post-op?

Not a bad combination. I've been drinking the Isopure Zero Carb RTD bottles, 40 grams of Protein per 20 oz. And it's a clear so you don't need to worry about watering it down or anything.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
