Has anyone used protein powder 3 days post op?

[Kate D 41]

I was hoping I could get some advice. I am 3 days post op gastric sleeve. I assume it’s normal that I am very lethargic, but I was wondering if any of you used unflavored Protein Powder in your broth? I was thinking that maybe some additional Protein would help with my lethargy. My Dr’s office is closed now otherwise I would call them and ask. I am on a clear liquid diet until Saturday...

Hello,

I am just over a year post op. I remember using Unjury unflavored Protein Powder right from the very beginning, just as you were thinking of doing. I added it to chicken broth starting on day 3. It worked great. I continued to use it when I needed to get my Protein, especially during my 2 week liquid phase and the 2 week pureed phase before moving on to dense protein. I like to keep my protein grams at 100-110 a day. It has worked well for me.

My nutritionist suggested using the unflavored protein powder and gave us some good ideas of how to use it, so glad for that.

My sleeve was the 13th

They had me getting Isopure RTD drinks the day of surgery for dinner, and at every meal after (i was there 3 nights). Upon release they had me cleared to be drinking Protein Shakes.

I know Isopure is a little different, but they had me drinking my milk based Protein shakes soon as I got home.

All their paperwork says stage one is clears, but they continuously had me drinking protein shakes from the getgo

I mixed Protein Powder in my crystal light, after I got home.

I existed on alternating meals of chicken broth and Protein Shakes from day 3 to day 14. I had no issues consuming the Protein shakes from day 3.

I’m post op day 4 and I’m doing 8 oz of Isopure ready to drink a day until day 7 I think. My powder mixes arent sitting well on my stomach quite yet and the fruity isopure is better at least in that regard.

I was drinking Protein Shakes from the day I got home. My Dr just had me on liquid, not clear liquid, so I had shakes of all flavors during the 2 week liquid phase.
