Dear Forum Friends,

I am four days post-op (had my surgery on Thursday). I am freaking out right now because I just noticed (from reading the nutrition label) that the Protein shakes I've been forcing myself to drink contain three grams of dietary Fiber. Specifically, the brand is Pure Protein, Frosty chocolate (purchased at Wal-Mart).

I'm supposed to be on a liquid diet for two weeks. Isn't fiber a solid, and thus hard on my new stomach? Have I injured myself? I went online and looked up other shakes that are popular and found many of them contain fiber. For example:

Premier Protein Shake: 2 grams of dietary fiber

Unjury Chocolate Splendor: 1 gram of dietary fiber

Pure Protein vanilla Creme Shakes: 2 grams of dietary fiber

Pure Protein Frosty Chocolate: 3 grams dietary fiber

Nature's Best® Isopure Zero Carb - Stawberries and Cream: 2 grams of dietary fiber

Can anyone shed some light on this? I am very worried!!!

I'm a week out of surgery and finding the shakes and most everything is not appeasing only applesauce it seems thete is a pain in my chest that goest up when I try is this normal

Have u had your follow up appt yet? I'd ask/call the dr.. I never felt any chest pains when trying to eat or drink.. ( but that's jus my experience)

Is the carnation breakfast shakes also a good source I'm trying to find something that w work for me but satisfy the hunger or any advice where there are some not si awful tasting shakes or food choices and liquids

I prefer the premier Protein.. But have never tried the carnation breakfast shakes.. Premier has 30g of protein, 1 sugar, & 160 calories.. They are really great in taste..

No will have my foll up next monday and where do u get premier. Do u recommend any certain flavor and do u think mixing peanut butter in it would b okay

Ibought the shakes from doctors office and don't really care for them too well especially without skim milk

Premier protein shakes are already made! They come in 11oz containers. I personally like the choc over the vanilla.. They taste great! I sit mine in the freezer and let them get icy.. Yummy! I have heard on this sight if u like coffee u can mix the choc premier protein with it and they say it taste like a mocha coffee.. Haven't tried it yet, but I'm goin too..

Oh & I got them from SAMs club. 18 dollars for a case of 12.. I drink one in the morning & 1 before bed..

Is there anything u eat to help satisfy hunger or doesn't feel like diet food

I would recommend to call your dr in the morning about the chest pains.. Jus to be on the safe side.. Could be jus gas pains but I don't want to make that call.. I'm sure your dr can answer that question for you.. He may move your appt up some or Atleast they can give u some info as to y this is happening to you..

Not at that stage u r in.. But I will tell you this.. I drank wonton soup from the Chinese restaurant.. I only drank the soup tho.. It made me feel a lot better.. I practically lived off of that & regular chicken broth the 1st 10 days.. Have u tried sugar free jello.. The cherry is really good. I am on phase 3 now tho.. R u feeling hungry a lot? Because I had a lot of HEAD hunger .. But I have dealt very well with it now.. It will get better as the days go by.

I will have to try that. It does feel frustrating. I do feel hunger not sure if its real or not but am thankful I found this site where others are going through what u go through

Yes, I am very thankful of this site.. It has helped me tremendously! When I can't sleep at night I jus go read this forum til I fall asleep.. Also I have heard if u stay hungry a lot your dr may wanna put u on something like Prevacid .. I think I heard them say its something to do with acid reflux..
