Does anyone have good options for Protein Powder to mix with Water? I have been buying my mother Premier Protein shakes but they are becoming expensive for the amount of Protein she needs to consume at first.

Support is the best thing you can do. Take things slow. I had mine on 10/19 and am a week end. It will take a little while for the good habits to take root. Do what you can to support them whether eating healthy with her, cooking recommended food, removing the bad stuff from the panty (if it didn’t happen pre-op) and just being there. This is a positive step to a healthy and life sustaining path so reinforce that you appreciate her sacrifice. I would encourage empathy but not sympathy. Empathy is understanding she is in pain while sympathy is doing stuff for her because of the pain. Movement helps so make sure she is up and moving And doing things for herself. In a couple weeks, consider joining her on walks. Please reach out if you have any specific questions and she is lucky to have you.

Thanks so much for responding, so far I have her on a good food and exercise schedule. She was feeling very Wel today but that’s because she wasn’t consistent with her Protein Shakes last night and this morning and I’m thinking was getting dehydrated. I was able to get her feeling better with Gatorade and with her Protein shakes😍 I definitely feel and empathize with her pain, but I also need her to understand how important it is to keep up with the diet she was given if not it can be deadly.

Thanks so much for responding... I asked only because I seen others mention the purée stage and so it confused me cause I know In the guide we have on week two it includes cream Soups and stuff like pudding.

I have one question.. during day 8-14 I can add full liquids to her diet.. does this mean I can cook food and purée for my mother, or do I have to stick to a restrictive type of cream Soups?

Hi everyone, my mother had her gastric sleeve surgery on 10/20, I have been helping her through this journey. She doesn’t know much English so I have been the one to communicate and translate with Dr/Nurses.. pretty much everyone for her. Also have been fixing her meals and crushing her meds. Any tips anyone can share would be helpful. I am now getting some pushback from her not wanting to eat certain things or do certain things. Any help would be appreciated 😍
