Im an not a Dr, but I wasn’t allowed to have Protein after my 6th week...that was because protein stick/stays in stomach longer time.. and Dr wanted me to have liquids/soft foods at the beginning.. always check with your Dr, remember takes about 3 to 4 weeks for stomach to heal... good luck

I couldn't have Protein Drinks for the first week. Clear liquids only. Be careful, because your new stomach might not agree with creamy Protein just yet. If your doctor allows it on day 3, then you only have to wait 2 more days, so hang in there. You will be sipping on Protein Shakes in no time.

Congratulations on the next chapter of your journey!

Our program starts shakes and purees the 1st day home, so around day 3.

I had my RNY 10/2. I was not allowed to have anything to drink that day. Yesterday I could have Clear Liquids. Today my surgeon instructed me to start my two weeks of liquid diet again. I have not been hungry at all but has been a process to get my Water in. I have been able to keep one premier shake down. But I am so full. Every surgeon is different.

My program starts full liquids the first day home so that included 3 Protein Shakes a day, or at least that's what they wanted. It was hard to get 3 in and drink my fluids too.

      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.
