ivettev001 27 Posted December 18, 2015 I use 2 LOVE 2 drink these Premiere Protein Drinks/Shakes whateva they r....but since I had my surgery, I can't STAND them....Lord pls help me with these shakes! Lol I heard that after surgery your digestive changes so that's probably why... It can be for awhile temporary or you are just tire of them... You should try other kinds of Protein Shakes and see luckTry the Unjury chocolate Splendor. It is fantastic!!!! I really liked this mixed in a cup of black coffee - tasted like a mocha . I'm pre-op and not sure I would try this for a while after surgery though! Awsome!!! Didn't thought of that... I guess I will be doing that with my coffee too... That sounds yummm! I love the chocolate splendor from Unjury ???????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heatherg17 22 Posted December 18, 2015 Question...I was sleeved on Dec 8th, how long did people keep sipping their drinks? I'm so thirsty all of the time ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BonitaF 30 Posted December 18, 2015 I was also on the 8th. I drink as I want to. I don't drink either 30 minutes before or afore meals. I think the whole idea of sipping is so you are sure you get enough, so drink away. Don't gulp big chugs or you will overfill your pouch without knowing you are doing it.

What do your meals consist of? Today was the first day I had soft/puréed foods. Couldn't eat but maybe 10 tiny tiny bites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heatherg17 22 Posted December 18, 2015 I make sure not to gulp, just always feel thirsty but popsicles do help. I don't start pureed foods until Tuesday...looking forward to it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn't supposed to start until Monday but I was doing so well and was told to try and work things in slowly when I felt ready. But I am still taking it VERY SLOW. ☺️ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It took me a week and half before I felt a little hungry. But you need some energy so try to get your Protein in. It really helped me. I did have a problem and still do getting my fluids in. Just hard to remember to sip all day. Funny b/c I never had a problem before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
