How Much Can I Drink And Eat?

[Bunnylove4 0]

hi, I am at Day 2 of post op. I am now unto the liquid stage. How much Water or Protein Shake can I drink at one time-- how long should it take me to finish a bottle? If I am eating Jello or Soup, how much can I have at one time? Thank you for any advice you can offer.

Take things slow. See how things go down. In the liquid stage I had 3 protien drinks a day. I didn't limit Water at all. You want to get at least 60 gms protien a day. I chose EAS because they have 20 g protien, and are low in fat. They also have carb control is you are looking to stick to a low carb diet. I get them at Walmart. You probably won't have problems, since your band is not filled. Don't be surprised is hunger creeps in in a few days. It's what's known as bandster hell. The time after surgery but before you get enough Fluid in your band to have restriction. Congrats on your surgery!

What is EAS?

I had 3 Protein Shakes a day and three cups of stock (8 oz) for first 7 days. Second week I could have Soups like Tomato, Sweet red pepper. Most doctors do not want soups that have solids in them at this point. I made sure to use a coffee CUP and not a mug. Mugs are usually 12-16 oz.

EAS is a brand of premade protien shakes. I don't know what it stands for. I get them at Walmart. I have also seen the version with carbs at sams.

I just had my EAS Advantage shake this morning. French vanilla is my favorite. I'm not banded yet but I have been replacing Breakfast with it. It has 100 calories, 2.5 net carbs and 17g of Protein. I buy a pack of 4 from Walmart for $4.74 and I think they taste really good! I just noticed in small print on the carton that EAS stands for energy, athletics, strength.
