not taking protein shakes

I agree with @ as to taking in Protein isolate. There are 3 brands I can think of whose Protein Powder is 100% Protein isolate, and low in carbs and sugar: powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury, Syntrax nectar and Isopure.

My nutritionist also recommended taking Vitamins & minerals, Iron, Calcium citrate (not Calcium carbonate) and B12 to avoid nutritional deficiencies. I was advised to not take the Iron at the same time as the calcium because they counteract each other. BariatricAdvantage has a Vitamin mineral mix specifically made for people that have had bariatric surgery and was recommended to me.

Wishing you a healthy journey.

I would drink the Protein shakes, quite honestly. I am not a doctor, I am just 1 gastric sleeve patient in a sea of thousands. That being said, what I have learned from my doctor and nutritionist is that Protein will help you heal and will keep you from getting hungry. And, 1 month on nothing but juice and toast very odd. You may be tempted to eat if you aren't feeling somewhat satisfied. bread is a big no no according to everything I've been told over months of prep work for the surgery. A lot of doctors want their patients on a 1 or 2 week clear liquid diet right after surgery...mine didn't. My doctor ....who is considered one of the top WLS surgeons in the country.... said that Protein Shakes right after surgery does not hurt the new incisions in the stomach at all and they actually help to heal it faster.

I'm with Bobby!

My doctor gives really vague instructions I am not comfortable asking him questions for help , what do you recommend ? Should I improvise?

Hi. Im lebanese too. Im in lebanon.. its true here they dont prescribe Protein Shakes. They depend on our food intake ! But taking Protein shakes is not a bad idea. U can get them from jnc.

Can someone riddle me this? If volume of fluids is so hard right after surgery, has anyone tried to make their own Protein "shots" at home? That way protein requirements can be met in a small amount and the rest of the Fluid consumption could be Water instead of trying to gag down large Protein Shakes.< /p>
