5 days Post Op and a little confused



Recommended Posts

I have my nutrition folder and It says full liquids for 2 weeks post op. It suggest things like Protein Drinks for Breakfast and creamed Soups for lunch and dinner. However it took me 8 hours yesterday to finish about 6 oz of Protein Drink. I am sipping Gatorade and Vitamin Water too.

What should my goals be??? 2 oz of Protein drink? and then some Soup later? I am just not sure I am doing this right. Yesterday all day I got was 200 calories in and maybe 20 grams of protein.

I am almost scared to try anything like pudding with protein, it just seems to thick in mind right now.

Myrori,

Congrats on your new sleeve! I was newly sleeved on the 18th & my dr told me the most important thing at first was to stay hydrated & to forget the protein until it was easier for me to drink. Therefore, I'm sticking with the soups, Vitamin Water & gatorade for a while longer & then I'll try to start on the protein. Good luck on your journey & keep us posted! :)

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
