Way to early to be slamming yourself - i say drink Water and any Protein - You goal is to flush out the toxic stuff and clear out your system

Soon you can get in a mixed routine see below - I am insane with the Vitamins and supplements but really has helped my journey

@Billy Bob I am drinking mostly Premier Protein and Muscle Milk shakes. Sometimes I’ll drink an Ensure Plus Max. I find the Muscle Milk shakes are thinner thus were easier to get down my first week. Any shake I drink is 30 grams of Protein per serving. I will also have 8-12 oz of diet cranberry juice with a scoop of nectar flavorless Protein Powder (to break up the monotony of the water). For Vitamins I’m taking the Bariatric Fusion chewable (orange creamsicle flavor) 2 vitamins, twice a day (no other vitamins). I’ll be curious to see what others are taking for vitamins. As an aside I’m two weeks post op today so I just started on purées.

You're sure they specifically said CLEAR liquid during the post-op 2 week diet? Would be the first I've heard of that. I know some do Clear Liquids pre-op.

Clear liquids is tough - RTD Protein Shakes are out so you'd have to do Syntrax Nectar or Protein Water.

I think you may be right. I am double checking. I may have misunderstood Clear VS Sugar -free ,low fat full liquid diet. Thanks. I would really like to have insure Protein Shakes first day home. Glad that I'm learning this now. 6 days to go. lol
