Hello I'm new here.

I'm 9 days post op and I can not take the Protein Shakes at all,has anyone any advice. I can't buy Protein Water as nowhere near me sells it

Is there a reason you can't take them? If lactose intolerant perhaps use a plant based Protein Shake.

Do you have much longer to go before you start pureed foods? If only a few days speak to your dietician or surgeon see if they are happy for you to progress to pureed foods a little early.

I disliked the Protein Shakes too & as soon as those first two weeks post surgery passed I never drank another one. I’m a big advocate of drinking yoghurt & wished i’d discovered them sooner. They can be a bit thick but you can dilute them with additional milk. Also bone broths are a good source of Protein.

Congrats on your surgery.

Thank you.

I just can't tolerate them at all. Feeling weak n tired now all the time. I can't wait till week 3 till I can try an poached egg.

I admit I have a hard time drinking Protein Shakes maybe because I’m over them and wish I could eat my Protein, I’m 2 months post gastric bypass. I am going to have to start convincing myself to drink them, I do not like the protein waters as they leave a nasty after taste more of a filmy taste.
