Isopure makes a flavorless Protein Powder that mixes well with anything I would suggest using this you can get it from Amazon or GNC I mix it in with my Jello

Ive tolerated everything such as Water broth, Jello and Protein but I hate drinking the Protein Shakes. I find it too sweet now and it always take me more than hr to finish it. The thickness leaves behind a chalky taste and sometimes I have to wait a while to have another sip because I'm afraid that I'll start coughing. I coughed the other day and I swore I broke a stitch (I'm exaggerating) but it was definitely not a cool feeling.

Wishing you the best of luck and speedy recovery. I'm 6 days post op, so my advice to you for after surgery is to walk. Walk as often as you can, it will help with the gas pains. As for me I couldn't drink any fluids while sitting down, so I sipped while standing or walking around because if not I will get really bad acid reflux. Just a head up that ish hurts more than the incisions lol. You'll be fine though, its such an amazing journey and you won't regret it. Let us know how you are after surgery.

I found single bottles at Walgreens. I bought a few different flavors to try. Since I know what ones I like, i order cases on Walmart website. Hint...the cherry flavor is gross lol.

Got my date today! May 8th

I am 5 days post op and am feeling pretty good. I have a lot of abdominal gas, a stomach that gurgles like crazy 😂😂 my husband heard it this morning and said it sounds like a volcano erupting. The pain med is controlling the pain and overall I feel pretty darn good. Looking forward to eating solid food again...

I had my surgery the same day and I'm experiencing the same thing! My stomach grumbles like I'm hungry and I'm having cravings. I'm plannning out what I eat for the next week so I hope it will help. Not having to think about what I want to eat might help.

I am counting down the days till I can eat

I was going through the same exact thing five days postop just like you. It was driving me insane. I promise it will subside and you will not have the hunger feeling anymore. It is just extra acid and the hunger hormone is not completely out of your system yet. Once I reached one week, I feel so much better. In the meantime, if you're not already, take a PPI. (Prliosec, Nexium, etc.) to help control the acid.

My neighbor made my chicken broth with the veggies for flavor and then strained it. Try to do that instead of buying the ones from the store, I couldn't stand those.

I can't stand broth but I am thinking of ordering wonton Soup just for the change. But I'm scared I'll eat the wontons.

New here and excited and nervous about my 5/25 date. Wishing you all the very best.

I had my surgery on may 8th. I dont have my post op appointment until may 18th. I know this is not head hunger, but I am hungry. I can feel my stomach growling. I am sticking to my liquid first but 5 more days seems so long to stay hungry. I eat some Jello, Powerade, popsicle when I feel hungry but it doesn't always work. Any body experience this or can give any advice.

My discharge paperwork states I can have a Protein Shake only if I am getting in 50 ounces of clear liquid in also. I am shooting for 50 today (5 days post op) so I can have a banana Protein shake.

Im 5 days post op, was told to start Protein on the 3rd day... I had no issue pre surgery but the ones post are kind of gross.. muscle milk (100 calories) I have powder and mixed it with soy milk... wasn't bad but thick and real sweet.. the ready made stuff is nasty... I've been drinking it for an hour and have about a quarter down .. uh this ever gonna get better?

Hi neighbor. How are you? When did you have surgery or are you waiting to have?

I'm day two post op and also struggling to get down Protein Shakes. Had one bottle of protein20 and small part of two shakes and that'll have to do. I hope it gets easier.

I had trouble with Protein Shakes so I use Protein Water. Its called Protein2o. They have a bunch of flavors and 15g of protein.

I use Premier Protein ( I have them s hipped from Amazon) I cut them in half with Water and add egg Protein Powder. I drink 3 day takes about 1 hour for each. This gives me 120 grams of Protein for the day and 40 ounces of water.

I started to struggle with the dairy and thickness, so I switched to ones you could mix into Water like Syntrax Nectar which is 24g Protein per packet. I also have Protein2O 15g per bottle, the coconut is pretty good.

I think I'm going to try this fairlife milk, I've heard good things about it. Good luck on pureed stage. I've heard not to eat sweet potato, so just be careful eating that. I have to be 2 weeks on liquids before I can be advanced to pureed

I had my surgery on the 28th of April. They told me to follow the stages. First week clear liquids, 2nd week solid liquids, 3rd week pureed foods, 4th week regular meals.

I'm also having a very hard time with the protien shakes. They want me to get 5 ensures down! Yea right! So I switched to Unjury powder and fairlife milk. Much thinner and less sweet. I still have to push it down but it's much easier because I only have to have 3. 21 grams of Protein in unjury...another 13 with the fairlife milk. Tomm I get to start pureed stage hopefully after a phone call with the nurse. I'm 10 days out.
