I was told to just worry about getting the liquids in and not worry about the Protein yet. When i was on full liquids (shakes) then I had to count protein.

Keke, you can also do unflavored whey isolate, and Unjury chicken broth Protein that first week in Clear Liquids. The unflavored cn be mixed with crystal lite if you want.

Yes Unjury makes a chicken broth flavored Protein Drink. It's nice because it's not sweet like the other Protein Shakes so its a nice change. Sometimes after the sleeve, warm liquids go down easier.

As has already been stated the first week you need to concentrate on making sure you can get enough liquid, wait till you get to full liquids to worry about Protein. Also I wouldn't recommend buying to much of any food stuffs prior because many find there tastes change greatly post op, and you don't want to get stuck with a lot of something you don't like, especially since protein can be quite expensive. Good Luck.

Yeah you have to buy it online. It's a bit of a pain :) But I think Richard is right, wait and see what sounds good later.

My surgeon included skim milk as a clear liquid & that was my Protein source at first. I mixed it with some NesQuik no sugar added chocolate powder.< /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.
