It would depend on how many weeks post op you are. When were you sleeved?

@lady lisa, she is one week post-op. I'm not sleeved so this is something I would like to know (about how much drinking) at least - no eating for me for weeks on end but I'd love to know the approximately Isopure I can expect to have to take down (that stuff is nasty) lol. I only bought three bottles so far and it's 40 grams a Protein a bottle.

Sorry, I didn't pay attention to when you were sleeved. Ok, so for me at 1 week post op here was the typical day:

Mixed 2 scoops of Protein powder (27g each of protein) with Water, added ice and shook=54g

Mixed 2 scoops of Bene-Protein by Nestle (6g of protein) to my Powerade Zero=12g

Drink Water , WATER, WATER

Mixed 1 scoop of Protein powder to water, added ice and shook =27g

I bought vanilla flavored and unflavored Protein Powder. I would also add unflavored Protein powder to my broth. With vanilla I would add Sugar Free chocolate Syrup or strawberry syrup for different flavors.

Are these Protein Shakes like full liquid or are they clear? I have to be on clear only. I was thinking of getting unflavored Protein powder to put into broth too, but not sure if that will make it not clear anymore.

At 1-2 weeks post-op I wasn't "eating" anything! I was still on full-liquids. But for me, it was mainly Water and attempts at Protein Drinks. My sleeve didn't tolerate anything more until the 3rd week. The shakes I did try were thinned out or the "clear" Isopure drinks.< /p>

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
