Too soon for protein shakes?



Recommended Posts

I had my band put in on the 16th. Is it too soon for me to drink a Protein shake? I have been on Clear liquids, but I would like a Myoplex shake or at least a few drinks of one.

My doctor suggested drinking them from the beginning.

It depends on your doc. They should've gave you a diet Plan that lists what you can have at what stage. You can't go by what people here say for this, since every doc does it different

My menu plan says Clear Liquids 1-2 days and then Full Liquids days 2-week 2, then start mushies.....

Protein Shakes mixed with Water should be ok days 1 & 2, then mixed with milk should be ok after at least 2 days.....

Good luck!!! :)

My doctor told me that if i could tolerate it right after surgery it was fine. Just take small sips and see how you feel. I started drinking them on the second day and I was banded on the 14th.

I agree about following what your doctor said, but FYI, I was on shakes made with Water from the day after surgery. Made with milk after 1 week.

Ok - My doc did give me a diet and it says liquids the first week. Milk is listed, so I assumed Protein shakes would be fine. I might try one tonight. Thanks for your feedback.

To this day I still drink MUSCLE MILK LIGHT lots of flavors(BUT I THINK THEIR chocolate IS LOUSEY.) It still kills the Hunger Beast.

So I still highly recommend it.

Google MUSCLE MILK LIGHT, you should see some jugs of it on the screen. That site I think is the cheapest..

If your Dr. said Clear Liquids, pick up some Isopure. It's pure Protein - clear like crystal light - no carbs. You can't live off of it but it fills you up.

As for straws - you can use them. There is absolutely no evidence they cause problems.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
