3day post op, the protein shakes are killing me.



Recommended Posts

I love the Premier Protein shakes. banana is my favorite. The chocolate is good too. I also happen to like the way medicine tastes (my husband find me and this very odd lol). I usually put the 4 oz over ice. They truly are best ice cold. Luck to you

I had problems with Protein Shakes also. I was sleeved on April 24 and still can't get them down. I had a bad reaction and thr Doctors office told me that 90% of their patients have an adverse reaction to artificial sweetners. I was told to stop and wait a month or two and try again.

Get some unflavored Protein Powder and mix in with your broth. It was a lifesaver for me in the first few days post-op.

Isopure makes a flavorless Protein Powder that mixes well with anything I would suggest using this you can get it from Amazon or GNC I mix it in with my Jello

I've heard every doctor had their own instructions. In the hospital I was on Clear Liquids only but when they discharged me they told me to start my Proteins the next day along with clear liquids like Water, broth,Jello and SF ice pops.


My instructions are exactly like yours. I managed 1 Protein Shake in two days. Taste wasn't too bad, but I prefer savory to sweet myself. Hope you find something that works for you.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
