Protein drinks right after surgery.



Recommended Posts

So I am trying to get in my Protein Drinks in. I have some small Chinese tea cups that are 4oz and that is what I'm drinking out of. My question is how do you mix up your drinks? Do you mix them up in batches? How long do they last? Do you keep them in the fridge?

I didn't have to start Protein the first 2 weeks. Especially not week 1. I would make the 8oz and split it for 2 servings. Keep the second in the fridge.

I mixed up a non bariatric serving and then drank from that. It was okay for a few hours. I never made more than I could drink in a day.

The morning after my sleeve surgery.....the nurses asked me to take in one ounce and hour and chart it. It took all day for me to drink an 11 oz bottle of Premier Protein.

I pretty much stuck with ready made Premier Protein for the first week.

I'd pour it into some Hard Rock cafe jigger glasses and leave the rest in the fridge. Only time in my life I can remember sipping from a jigger glass, too. :P

It took me a coupe days before I could get in 3 shakes per day.

Geez. I couldn't touch anything but Clear Liquids for two weeks. No Protein Shakes till week 3. I know right after surgery it was really tough getting in 30 oz of Fluid of any kind. I can't imagine a shake.

I mixed them in a 24oz Blender Bottle, added ice and sipped on it at work all day. Then I'd make another one when I got home and sip on that all evening.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
