I was on Clear Liquids for the 1st post-op week before moving to full liquids the 2nd week.

The only things I consumed during that first week were sugar-free Powerade, sugar-free Ocean Spray cranberry juice, Water, and ready-to-drink Protein Shakes.

Good morning, my surgery is Tuesday and the stress is hitting. What did everyone “eat” the first week? I know it is all about the Protein but what did you use? Has anyone used GENEPRO?


I have not had it, but it was suggested by my NUT. Since it has no flavor, it can be put in Water with Crystal light, as well as in broth. I will buy a sample from GNC before I have surgery to try it out.

I was sleeved 10/11. Warm Bone Broth has kept me sane. Good luck.

Protein Drinks are the staple early out; I would avoid that GENEPRO stuff as it neatly fits into the "too good to be true" miracle supplement scam category (and nobody really knows what it is.) whey Protein, preferably whey isolate, is the well accepted, best absorbed form.

I also had greek yogurt, eggs, and some sloppy tuna salad, though those may not be permitted on some diets the first week or two - check with your program directions.

I was on clear liquids in the hospital so days 1-3 (discharged on day 3) and then Full liquids until my follow up so about a week and a half. I would eat broth, cream Soups strained and Protein Shakes. I liked the Atkins Protein drinks and GNC Lean Protein shakes.

      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.
