Hello i had my bypass surgery on 9/1 yesterday i started with more consistencial food like creams and yogurt and for the first time since my surgery i felt full so it takes me more time to drink my Protein Shakes but i know its important to have them so i take my time. And the pain is almost gone completely. Im really happy for the way things are going and i hope al my september buddies feel the same way too

Congratulations! Glad you're doing well! There's a lot of other options for getting your Protein in. The BariatricPal Store has some and Amazon has some Protein Shots that are only 4 ounces and they have 42g of protein. I hope this helps.

Hi ladies, at least I think they're all ladies in here. My apologies if there's a guy. I am six days postop, I cannot drink the Protein Shakes at all. Even with anti-nausea medication. I do fine getting my Water in. And I can get a little bit of broth on occasion. But I am so weak. I'm supposed to be on a complete liquid diet for another 15 days.
But I've read and watched some various posts and YouTube videos that people started their soft foods in week two. I was wondering if anybody had any information on waiting for the end of week three to start soft foods or what their thoughts are on starting a little bit earlier. Since I'm not getting any nutrition except from Vitamins.< br>

Hi. It really depends on the person and how your doctor and nutritionist are seeing your recovery. The y started me on purees and creams and greek yogurt after 1 week postop. But you really need to try to find a way to get the Proteins in because they are like (beside water) the most important thing. I think they sell like shots of Protein and I know the protein tastes awful but it is what it is. Or talk to your doctor and try to find a solution together
