PROTEIN DRINKS AFTER SURGERY???



Recommended Posts

I am kinda confused, I know we are suposed to have Clear Liquids after surgery, but can you have like

chocholate flavored Protein Drink, and if so can you put like a banana in it and blend it??

Now Im saying the 1st 2 weeks after surgery.

Thanks,Lisa

What does your doctor say? If he said to be on clear liquids for 2 weeks, then no banana. Clear liquids don't necessarily have to be completely clear, but they are somewhat see through. Isopure is a clear liquid.

You can put unflavored Protein powder into crystal light, gatoraide, poweraide, etc. It will be cloudy from the Protein Powder, but it's still a clear liquid.< /p>

clear Protein Shakes, broths, Jello, lite juices. No bananas until you move to the next stage.

I ate jello yesterday and didn't properly chew it, I let it slide down in a lump and was uncomfortable all night. I'm only 3 days out and am hating the clear liquids. I know how you feel, I think we all do, but if we follow instructions in the beginning, then perhaps we'll be able to change our life long habits of eating the wrong foods. I want to change those habits now.

I was told the same, diluted juices, broths, Water, and sugar free crystal light ice pops...they were a saving grace and are only sold at Walmart. no dark Protein shakes or anything like that. I feel for u because I just started mushies, it's so hard but try and find the popsicles.

Good luck

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
