How many days after surgery did you get your protein in?



Recommended Posts

Hi! I’m new to this community. I just had surgery Friday (Feeling Great!) and I’m still only able to do broth, and Water. How many days did it take for you all to get in those Proteins? I’m wondering if I should push my intake or go with what my body is saying. The thought of a Protein Shake makes me want to puke! Any suggestions...

Day 7 or 8, but it was HARD. My NUT told me I can now have things like thinned out oatmeal or cream of wheat, but I can't afford to waste the stomach real estate on something that has no protein! I wasn't able to do shakes at first and it is still very hard to choke them down.

I am 3 weeks out and still struggling to get my Protein. Not a fan of shakes or anything I have tried which has been a hellofa lot! Ans since I can only eat so much I look for foods with the biggest bang.

Five days out and hit my goals last two days. Protein Shakes, Water, organic chicken broth, a couple sf popsicles and one pack of motts unsweetened apple sauce. I open one applesauce at night, two small baby spoonfuls with my crushed meds. Finish the pack over two sittings the next day.

Around 60 days to make it steadily to the required amount daily

I had my surgery Wednesday and the dr. Told me to start my shakes the same day but I can't get down 64 Ounce But when I called the doctor his nurse told me that I have all day to drink the Protein Shakes. I'm just to Gasy and no Bowel movement.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
