My surgeons office sells it. But I've bought it online as well. They also have unflavored Protein you can hide in your Jello.< /p>

My surgeon makes us wait a full week before we're allowed even Protein, but I cheated and had protein a few days early, and started to feel better almost immediately. I absolutely could not start to heal without SOME calories and protein. Just my experience!

Does it ever make you wonder how or why they choose the things you can have and at what time? liquid, puréed, soft.... Everyone is so different.

From what ive seen on here every dr is differant. I saw some people getting to eat crab on second wk, im sooo jealous. I dont recommend anybody waiting 7 days before Protein though, thats just too long and i was so miserable, hungry and weak

GNC and Vitamin Shoppe sell Isopure zero carb clear Liquid Protein drink. 40 gms of Protein in a 20 oz. bottle. I've made sure to drink one of them a day in between my clear liquid and I feel good 6 days post op.

I dont understand why there are so many different rules.. I was aloud to eat purees immediately. I ate soft eggs the day after my surgery. maybe the Clear Liquids thing is so u dont dehydrate

in the begining but you starve...lol

Clear liquids were so difficult to get down those first fee days; I can't image trying to get down puréed that early out!

Yes, I was wondering the same thing. Why do some Drs say you can have Protein at first and some not. Its really confusing to me because i dont have a NUT to help me. I am 5 days post op and feel like I am starving. I am suppose to be on the clear diet till my Dr visit Monday but dont' know if I will make it that long. I did drink some Isopure clear drink today and feel a little better.

Isopure clear liquid should be fine because its a clear liquid as supposed to a ready to drink Protein Shake, which us a full liquid.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
