How are you getting nutrition now? What are your doctors orders? I was sipping protein shakes the next day... admittedly I did not want to eat ot drink anything.

I was drinking protein shakes the next day too and still live on my protein shakes. Protein and vitamins are two items we learn to live with. But I love my protein shakes!!

I also take Greens which are 8 servings of fruit & veggies a day as a supplement. You will realize that we need supplements since we do not get all the nutrients from food anymore. The first 6 months was the roughest for me trying to figure out what I can and cannot eat. For my "bad" days where I could not eat much, protein shakes saved my life.

My doctors said only Clear liquids like broths But I don't want to drink that feel grossed out

Call them to ask.

I like the GNC Lean shakes because they're very thin. About the consistency of milk. In fact, they're made with milk, which may be why they taste so good...

Try a Gladiator shake from Smoothie King 45 grams of protein, no sugar and no carbs.. it is DELICIOUS!!!!!!!

Some Days if Iam truly not hungry I have to force myself to eat even one meal. Many days I will have a Protein shake twice a day with fruits & veggies made in the Nutribullet!

I'm 4 days post op and my dietician said protein shakes are ok. She said wait a few days. I started them yesterday.
