are you able to drink protein shakes after surgery (on a all clear liquid diet)?

my hub got me bullets and they are not the best tasting things..........worse than isopure...

please advise what you are drinking/consuming on your clear liquids

I'm allowed protein shakes, any soup that's blended and yogurt smoothies, and then Popsicles, crystal light, etc

The soup makes it so much better! So excited its your turn!!!!

almost here bama, almost here........

Btw.. Getting 2 protein shakes a day, finally, 4 oz soup, water, crystal light and pipsicles are pretty much all the food I'm eating

Good for you! It's so hard, right? I'm not stressing tho since everyone has been saying that we'll be able to eat soon enough!

Good luck Carolina!

i know (if all goes well) in about 2 weeks, maybe some oatmeal or applesauce

or soft scrambled eggs. cannot wait to eat.

am kinda scared to eat again. to me, eating means gaining weight. must eat small

healthy meals.

hey kah, how you holding up????

I'm doing pretty well! Going back to work tomorrow. Today was the first day I felt hungry and I ate cottage cheese. It was also easier today to drink my water and a protein shake whereas the first few days were really hard. I'm still feeling slight pain in my ab muscle which I assume is my port healing.

When do you go in tomorrow?! Exciting

i go in wed at 530 and my surgery is at 730. i took off til nedt tuesday........hoping i can go back monday but we shall see..i had my gallbladder out and i think its the same type of surgery........the day after was the worst pain wise........but am hoping i can do as well as you and bama..
