Townsend143 reacted to GmaDiana in No protein until 3 weeks out?
I drank Protein Shake in hospital,of course a little at a time.I now 2 weeks out get most my Protein from shakes.No Nausea.You need protein for your muscles and also your heart is a muscle.Don't want to lose that muscle.It also helps you get your strength back.

How are you supposed to heal without Protein? What about muscle wasting?
I would ask for a detailed explanation and get a second opinion and possibly a different surgeon.

I also had to have Protein in the hospital and was instructed to drink in daily as tolerated to help with healing/muscle nutrient since I wasn't getting all of it from food intake.

I started in the hospital 6 hours after surgery. I had to be able to get down 4 ounces per hour before release.

My surgeon's directions were to not start your Protein supplements until day 5 after surgery or until you have passed gas. The advise from different surgeons will differ. It is common for individuals to not meet their Protein requirements at the very beginning because their stomachs are in a major heal mode. But since your surgery was on 11 November, I think you are far enough along to experiment with the various Protein shakes until you find one that you can tolerate.

Hi, I started drinking Protein 3 days after surgery, no problems with nausea. If that's his only concern I would just try it & if you have a problem then stop & wait the 3 weeks. Good Luck!

I wish you the best of luck on your upcoming surgery. Check back with us when you are on the other side. Make sure you take a good before photo so you have something to compare it with as you lose weight.
