My surgeon only allows the fruit punch whey Protein from GNC. And I just can't stomach it.. Help?

That seems odd that only the one flavor/brand is allowed- did they say why that was? I was allowed any kind of Protein Powder or shake as long as it was under 5 carbs per serving. I would call their office tomorrow morning and question why you can have only that one flavor/brand, and tell them you can't get it down and need to try something else.

My surgeons really odd. Out of the 3 surgeons in the practice he's the only one that does a long liquid diet before and after and the thing with the Protein. Like stage 2 only protein I get is the eas shakes from Walmart

Try the bananna creame from GNC, that is my favorite. When I was first sleeved I hated Protein and my doctor said not to worry about it it will come in time. I was able to actually tolerate it at about a month out. I would try different kind of Proteins so that you can find some that you can tolerate. Some of the companies offer samples so that you can try them before you buy a large amount of something that you will hate later. Good luck.

I went to my week post op. And my surgeon gave me a flavor that I did well with in the hospital. Fuzzy navel by nectar. So I'm now taking in Protein

Oh and day of surgery I was 285 and as of now I am 267

The first two weeks my surgeon didnt focus on Protein .. It's about getting your liquids in and staying hydrated .. Try at two weeks out you kno sometime you have to take a step back or step forward in this process because of what your body tells you I think you should try that and see how it goes with protein
