Recommended Posts

Hi, I am 8 days post Op, just starting my 2nd week but feeling very weak because my Dr's diet does not have any sort of Protein until week 3. I'v seen that alot of people are taking Protein Shakes or powder to mix since first days. Today I just could not help my self and I had a Svelty drink yogourth. I already send an e-mail to my Dr. And I am waiting for hes comments. If you can give me some advice please!!

Unjury makes a chicken broth with 20 g of Protein in it, it's actually not terrible either. They also have unflavored Protein Powder you can add to anything.

You should definitely add Protein powder even on the liquid phase you need it. The body needs protein to function. Are you sure you're reading the diet right.

It is the same as 1rst week. Clear liquids, chicken broth, posicles, gatorade, fruit juce. :(

Btw.you know clear liquids also means things like Isopure and other Protein Drinks like Protein 10..which is clear liquid but loaded with Protein. That will definitely get your energy level pack up.

. Yes, I already send an email to the clinic and the doctor. i think is not ok, also found other errors on the diets for next weeks, on the mesurements it has some oz, cup and liter!!! On 3rth week it saids: cchicken, Beans, vegetablrs, Tomato, ... But in any part it indicate that this food most be raw or cooked, on pure or peaces. It is a very dissapointing issue about the service. Sorry for my spelling. English is not my original languaje. I live in Mexico, I will look for those clear protein on GNC. Thank you!

i agree with the Isopure. even though i was allowed Protein Shakes during stage one, i preferred the isopure because i wasn't sure i could stomach creamy things at first. the isopure was like Protein packed kool aid, i would definitely recommend it.

      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.
