JerseyGirl68 1,172 Posted July 1, 2013 Congratulations on your surgery! It will take a few days to bounce back, you are still healing. Check with your doctor on when to start your supplement. Stay on course, you'll do great!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corky6984 134 Posted July 1, 2013 You're welcome! I'm two weeks post op today and I understand! I always look at my sheets to make sure I am on what I should be and, luckily, they have a list of Clear Liquids, full liquids, etc, which has helped me A LOT! Oh and sugar free popsicles as well! I got the twin pops in a clear bag from Wal-Mart and they are different flavors. Just to mix things up a bit! Sent from my iPhone using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dickens22 62 Posted July 1, 2013 I was sleeved 6/26 . I am able to drink /eat Protein Shakes, broth, water,Popsicle and Jello. I can get my suggested Protein from 2 shakes but it ins't enough calories. The other elective drinks don 't add many calories. Should I just drink 1 or 2 more shakes?sorry for the dumb question. I wasn't sure if that would be too much protein.I feel a little lost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote'] I don't think it will be too much, but it will help you down the line when you need to meet that protein because you know you can do it. I only do 2 4oz shakes right now, which for mine equals 200 calories and 46g protein, but am going to up them tomorrow. I also am not getting too many calories, but I start mushy foods tomorrow, so yay! Sent from my iPhone using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
txsleeve624 62 Posted July 1, 2013 That's the way I am 2 4oz of Protein a day that's all I can do, I'm doing 64oz of Water for the whole day. But I'm have not tried Jello or Popsicles I'm afraid to try it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corky6984 134 Posted July 1, 2013 Maybe try a small bite and see. If you don't try, you'll never know! I'm sure you'll be okay if you are getting your liquids and Protein in. Sent from my iPhone using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
