Post-op protein/fluids

[dechaniz 0]

Hey y'all!

I just got sleeved yesterday morning and was released from the hospital today.

My instructions from my DR., were to only have liquids for the next three weeks.

I was told I could have broth, Protein Drinks, or sugar free popsicles.

Why type of Protein drinks do you all recommend for these initial weeks after surgery?

I drank a lot of Premier Protein for my pre-op diet and don't know if those would help for this first stage

Thank you!! Happy holidays

I drank Premier Protein and still do. I have only tried one other brand (Bariatric Advantage) and it was too sweet for my liking. The Premier is a good one to go with, as far as the Protein that you need to get.

I also bought powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury plain Protein powder which is high in protein. You can mix it in chicken broth, it tastes good in it. You can also mix it in Powerade Zero or Crystal Light, and I'm sure some other drinks. It's a great option to have, especially if you get tired of the Protein shakes.

I drink Premier Protein also. Cheap at costco. Easy to carry with.

I am also using the Premier Protien shakes. I can also have Jello, popsicles, diluted juice, broth, Decaf tea with mine. Today I am supposed to have two ounces every 30 minutes. I am having a hard time just because I feel like I am constantly consuming something!!
