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

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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!
