How are you suppose to get protein in on all liquid diet ?



Recommended Posts

Protein Water has very chalky taste and it makes me nauseous and it's still too soon for Protein shakes. I feel like this is not healthy ... I'm 7 days post op

I was allowed Premier Protein on my clear liquid phase. I could also do clear protein supplements like: Isopure, ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates, Syntrax nectar, etc.

Protein promotes healing and increased energy levels. Please refer to your team regarding the amount of protein you need. Dehydration is bad, but malnutrition is just as bad. My NUT recommended unflavored protein in broth, pudding, etc. I haven't had surgery, but I have worked in medical field for 24 years; so this recommendation is more from experience in basic Healthcare. Good luck to you.

Beef bone broth, homemade, really helped me.

I couldn't tolerate any Protein shakes at all. I had to go lactose free for months post op too.

Once you are cleared for full liquids, blending chicken or beef broth with the meat to a fine consistency, that helps too. Egg drop Soup was my first Protein.< /p>

@@nikko9599 I am drinking 2 oz of Water every 15 min. How many oz are your shakes? Wondering if I should start alternating Water and shakes every 15 min. How much water are you getting in daily? And for some reason I am still in an extreme amount of pain. I have 5 incisions instead of the avg 3 I hear ppl have

I've been alternating 1 Oz of water and 1 Oz Protein shake every 15 minutes. 2 Oz was too much for me. I don't finish a shake in 1 day they are 11 Oz though. Lately I've been adding pudding or a popsicle for a different tastes. Yesterday I started adding yogurt and Mira lax to my water

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
