glostaff 40 Posted April 27, 2013 I was told by the medical team to have Clear Liquids (water, broth, Jello, sugerfree popsicles) only the first week post op. That sounds hard but it really wasn't. My stomach just wasn't ready for food. Starting on week two, I could have semi-soft foods and Protein Shakes. My favorite is Muscle Milk chocolate. I also used Slim Fast, 3-2-1. Good luck!

JShaw 22 Posted April 27, 2013 Your husband surgeon will outline the diet guidelines. Each doctor is different. Mine says liquids 3-4 days after surgery, then soft solids for a couple of weeks, then regular foods. They will also recommend a list of Protein Shakes. It all depends on the carb and calorie count. Good luck! 1 sastexan4u@yahoo.com reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ones that are hıgh ın proteın, low ın sugar. Thanks so much! I actually like the Promote high Protein shake that was given to me after my gastric sleeve procedure at the hospital, its pretty tasty. It taste like ensure shake without the added sugar. For flavoring I add a tad bit of vanilla or almond extract and splenda sugar or truvia for added sweetness....DELISH. The company ABBOTT is the same company that makes ENSURE, SIMILAC, etc. The shake can be purchase online at http://abbottnutrition.com/brands/products/promote or you can call them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuchnuch 120 Posted May 27, 2013 I must be super weird because I have tried the Protein Shakes from doctor's office (health wise) and syntax and my favorite is Adkins shakes. I can't stand the smell of the other two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MKGlidewell 15 Posted May 30, 2013 By far the best Protein you can buy is by a company called Dymatize and the brand is Elite Whey or Gourmet Elite Whey Casein blend. They have a ton of flavors, cappacino rush and milk chocolate are my favs. They have less than 150 calories per serving, anywhere from 20-24 grams of protein per serving, and less than 10 carbs. Also keep an eye out for the amount of cholesterol in your shakes. Walmart ones have a really high amount! Search Amazon 2 or 5# sizes available and free shipping or Nutraplanet.com 5#size only but cheaper than anywhere else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MomKel 0 Posted May 31, 2013 I have found that I like blenderizing the Jay Robb unflavored Protein Powder with 1 cup of skim milk, a couple of ice cubes, and then the additions of various sugar-free sugar-free syrups, such as Torani. I can control the sweetness, and I don't get tired of a flavor. Yesterday I made S'mores flavor by mixing toasted marshmallow, chocolate, and a little caramel sf syrups. It was yummy!

MomKel 0 Posted June 4, 2013 Where do you get the Torani syrups? Thanks! I found a website "Lollicupstore.com" that carries several brands of sugar-free syrups at a lower price than the websites that make the syrups. They have a huge variety. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
