are you able to drink Protein Shakes after surgery (on a all clear liquid diet)?

my hub got me bullets and they are not the best tasting things..........worse than isopure...

please advise what you are drinking/consuming on your Clear Liquids

I'm allowed Protein Shakes, any Soup that's blended and yogurt smoothies, and then Popsicles, crystal light, etc

The soup makes it so much better! So excited its your turn!!!!

Good for you! It's so hard, right? I'm not stressing tho since everyone has been saying that we'll be able to eat soon enough!

Good luck Carolina!

i know (if all goes well) in about 2 weeks, maybe some oatmeal or applesauce

or soft scrambled eggs. cannot wait to eat.

am kinda scared to eat again. to me, eating means gaining weight. must eat small

healthy meals.

hey kah' date=' how you holding up????[/quote']

I'm doing pretty well! Going back to work tomorrow. Today was the first day I felt hungry and I ate cottage cheese. It was also easier today to drink my Water and a Protein Shake whereas the first few days were really hard. I'm still feeling slight pain in my ab muscle which I assume is my port healing.

When do you go in tomorrow?! Exciting ;)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
