My surgeon says no protein supplements until week 5. Does this sound right to you?

[sleeverv 43]

I'm 4 days post op and my surgeon requires I do a 2 week clear liquid diet, 2 week full liquid diet and then add Protein supplements at week five. This just does not sound right to me. What did your NUT require? Thanks.

I have to drink Protein Shakes in the hospital post-op (from what I'm told).

My surgeon was the exact opposite. He wanted us to prioritize getting in all of our Protein as soon as we were cleared for fluids (after the leak test).He said there is no physical reason anyone couldn't drink 3 premier Proteins in one day. I credit getting in my 100 grams of protein every day with the ease of my recovery and success so far.

Adding, the whole reason to do Protein shakes/supplements is to make sure we can consume enough Protein until we are healed enough for more solid sources of protein.

Protein is critical for healing.

That's exactly what I'm thinking. When I asked my doctor when I get my energy from she said the body is an amazing thing don't worry you will get your energy. My doctor is in Tijuana Mexico she's a surgeon of excellence but this I don't agree with. I put in a referral for another doctor in San Diego California where I live. In the meantime I'm going to go ahead and drink a premier shake. I'm feeling kinda weak.

@sleeverv-before you do, find out if you don't have another problem, or if this is just his standard protocol. BTW, who is your doctor?

No I don't have any other problems. Actually was a 30 BMI when I got the procedure done and this is her standard protocol. I had no complications in surgery and I'm doing very well. My doctor is a Surgeon of excellence Dr. Liza Pompa in Tijuana Mexico.
