I am 9 days postop. Is it ok for me to just sip Gatorade all day and nothing else? I tolerare it well. I haven't started the complete chewable vitamins as I wasn't sure how they would sit with my new, sensitive stomach. I'm thinking I will start them today? Any input would be great everyone.

Have you chatted with your dietitian? I have found diet progression is vastly different from dr to dr. At 9 days post op, I was on full liquids. My dietitian recommended that for the first week try to get 28oz of fluids/day and worry about Protein later. But at 9 days post op, I was able to tolerate sips of Protein shakes. Some people progress at different rates. I would be concerned about dehydration, so if you have one available call your dietitian. Also if you are looking for a savory taste that has protein , powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury makes a chicken flavored Soup that is pretty good. 20 grams of protein for 8 oz serving. But I would call and ask your dietitian if its ok to sip on Gatorade solely at this point.

Can I purchase this soup at GNC or walmart or order it? It seems yo have noodles in it?? Is there just a broth? Thank you so much for your help!!!

You can purchase Unjury on line at www.unjury.com . It is a clear, chicken flavored broth protein whey powder..no noodles..nice and savory..you'll get your protein and fluids at the same time. I have not seen Unjury available for purchase at a retail store, only online. I also like EAS carb advantage shakes..they are sweet though. So if you are looking for a savory option, I would go with Unjury. They also have a protein cheese sauce that isn't bad either and you can order a sample pack to try out their different flavors of shakes and soup so you aren't out a lot of money for something you may or may not like. They will also send you recipes for their shakes.

UNjury is online order only. And there are no noodles. To give you an idea.... it taste Like cup of noodle without noodles.

Btw..they will try to sell you their vitamins...and in my humble opinion..they are garbage! I take two Flintstones Complete per day with no vitamin deficiencies. They are tasty, smaller, more economical, and don't make me vomit! Now as far as calcium , I take the Bariatric Advantage Calcium Citrate Chews. That is the only product from Bariatric Advantage I like. Everything else to me is garbage. Six chews per day give you the calcium you need, they taste great, and are sugar free! These are pricey, but worth it to me!

I found the you can get calcium chews at Costco that are sugar free for only 12 bucks it is 180 count, and just as similar to bariatric advantage for so much cheaper! Oh and with Costco ones you only need to take 3 a day not 6.

For me at 9 days out I was getting the lectures for not getting my 70 grams of Protein in. I suppose if you're putting Protein Powder in the gatorade, it's all good (as long as it's sugar free). One of the things that's going to help you heal and protect you as you lose weight is getting the protein in, so it's pretty important.

If you're using bariatric Vitamins, they should be good to take from the start, as they're formulated for post surgery.

I'm only taking 1 Bariatric Advantage chew a day. Why so many? Just curious

Also, make sure any calcium you take is calcium citrate. There is a difference.

Wish I had a Costco close to me all I have is a Sams ..wonder if I could order online...

I was told I need 1500 mg of calcium per day...each chew is 250mg ..as I understand..the body can only in theory absorb 500 mg of calcium at one time in a two hour stint therefore I take 2 calcium chews every two hours during the day for maximum absorption of the calcium so it will be beneficial.
