It's perfectly fine. It's good to get fluids in. Just watch the sodium if you start to retain Water. Are you also getting Protein?

I was told to start Protein and yogurt tomorrow . Excited for that. I'm just scared... Right now with broth I don't really feel full.. I barely feel the hunger pain

You won't feel full on liquids. Don't worry - it's good that you can drink alot!

Are you making your own broth/? That really ups the taste. AND will keep the sodium down.

Also, try adding some Nutritional Yeast to the broth. It will add more savory tastiness to the broth. It will taste like "croutons" without adding anything to the texture. You will still only have "broth".

Tomorrow--big day! What are you adding for Protein? Time to think out of the box...

Wish you well and a joyful WLS journey.

I nine days out and I'm killing the broth too. I kinda jazz it up a bit so I don't get bored. Each person is different. I know people who can't keep down the Protein drinks. Whatever works and stays down keep doing it.

Ah thanks ladies!!! I stocked up on premier Protein right before the surgery and my NUT told me in my last appointment that she doesn't recommend them because of the ingredients . I'm still debating ... Every post and person I have followed has swore by premier . I would prefer something pre made on the go...

BTW, the fact you don't feel full is why they tell you don't drink with your meals. Liquids tend to go straight through your sleeve. Liquids on top of solids tends to push it out of your stomach, and you lose the first step of digestion of key nutrients. And if it's out of your stomach it tends to help you over eat down the road.

Thanks for all the responses guys! I got my sleeve in Mexico and I appreciate the feedback although I know my doc is only an email away I don't want to seem silly asking these little things

Honestly I find the Premier Protein fandom kind of offputting. I'm convinced they are paying people to post about it on here!

So my mom used the premier Protein shakes and she loves them, we only drink the chocolate. I bought some and stocked up in hopes to get a surgery date soon, I've slowly been replacing Breakfast and lunch or Snacks with them but they kinda taste like feet lol probably just me but I can only drink them on ice, and I don't always feel full after one

Why doesn't she like premier? My surgeon specifically recommended premier.

This is another one that the doctors and NUTs are all over the place. My NUT didn't approve any Protein supplement that had whey or soy protein concentrate.....or hydrolyzed Gelatin, or collagen protein... I can't remember for sure now but I think the Premier had concentrate. In fact I never found any pre-made that didn't have protein concentrate.

I followed those instructions right at first but did decide pre-made easier and better....I used the EAS brand.
