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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
