Guys its my 6th day after my sleeve operation and my surgeon insists on going 2 weeks on clear fluids and i know its wrong cos i need protiens and nutrients , somebody help me

Hi Mimo, Welcome to VST! Also, huge congratulations on taking the step to a healthier you!

Have you tried Isopure? It's a clear Fluid stock full of Protein. Very low calories, no sugar and lots of good whey protein.

Also, I was allowed to have protein powders of my choosing beginning post op day 5, the only thing was I could only make it with Water, no milk.

All the very best to you. The first few months are the toughest, but you're tougher. You will get through this!

Clear fluids for 2 weeks, really? I was on bariatric clears for 2 days, then full liquids, and starting today can add in things like deli meats and eggs, but this is it for the next 2 months. 2 weeks would be tough, but you're only missing about a tablespoon anyway.

Syntrax nectar makes some Protein drinks that mix fairly clear. I have the Roadside Lemonade and Fuzzy Navel flavors (I think they make 5 or 6 flavors) leftover from back in my early lapband days. A scoop or two of the lemonade in a glass of tea makes a fairly convincing Arnold Palmer.

Thanks about this info, i think i need all the info and help about this ,

Anybody knows why im angry and in bad mood it started yrsterday

Yeah, Mimo. I know why you're in a bad mood. Your body is dumping hormones into your bloodstream as you lose weight. Yes, men have hormones too. It will pass...just try not to take it out on your loved ones, so you'll HAVE loved ones when this stage is over.

Yeah lissa i think thats the only explanation and the taxes we ve to pay , i hope they understand this

UGH!! Paying taxes stinks!

Mimo,

I was hospitalized for 5 days post-op. one day later after being dismissed from hospital, i was on Clear Liquids till now ( so almost a month). My surgeon stressed on Protein drinks immediatly afetr the 5 days. I take "perfect whey protein" (from el ezaby phamacy 2lb vanilla container @350L.E.). Without the protein i am too weak, and cannot barely move. I also get yogourt, labna, feta chese, 3-4 tea spoons in a meal. Ia also make/drink veggy juices.

Could you share your story ?

cool zeus would like to hear more about u

Liquid protein saved me... I got it at Walmart & Meijer. One had 26g & the other 42g... And they are about $2-3 each. Kind of syrupy but only 2-4 ounces...

Liquid protein is the most important of my diet. I take it in the morning with milk and half a banana. I usually have a soft egg 2 hours later.

It seems thought that you have to read the label, because not all protein shakes are equal. Once I did not have access to my regular shake, so I found a different brand but it had the same protein amount for tripple the amount of calories, and only have the ounces.
