Post Op Protein Shake and Calorie



Recommended Posts

Hi all, I get sleeved on Wednesday March 20, I am a little scared but super excited. My friend told me (who had a band) that her basic Protein Shake consisted of ice/protein/ 1/2c yogurt/ almond silk/ 2 splenda/banana/breakfast essentials dry. I have for my Protein Synthrax nectar Sweets; this sounds like a filling shake with a lot of calories? Is this the type of shake I am to be making when I come home from my surgery, I tried a lot of shakes premade and don't like the taste but I like that the calories are listed. I am getting my surgery in Mexico so I don't have a nutritionalist to ask. Thanks for any help

My 1st week was Clear liquids like chicken broth, sugar free Jell-O and sugar free popsicles. 2nd week was full liquids, meaning only basic Protein drinks and creamy Soups and yogurt - no bananas or anything that had lumps or bits and pieces. 3 week was pureed foods.

I wouldn't worry about the calories, it was a real effort just to eat anything the 1st week and by the 2nd week, I was only finishing 1/2 can of Cream of Mushroom Soup each day. But I was slowly able to each more each week.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
