I have read a lot of post lately where people post op 3 weeks to 2 months are being told to wean off of protein shakes. Did some new study come out recently as there is no way I could come close to eating my protein without the shakes. I am required to get at least 75 grams of protein a day

I was told at this point they are optional but no more than 1/day so that my gut stays awake and busy working.

I was told no shakes after the first month. We are supposed to get the protein from foods.

I was told one shake a day for life. Every doctor is different. Go with what yours says

I will because it is confusing. I just assumed I would be using some kind of protein shake daily. I only drink one a day but I have been drinking also 8 ounce glass of unjury chicken soup and this evening a 8 ounce glass of their strawberry sorbet and that gave me 72 grams of protein today plus the Ham I ate and the Turkey so total about 90 grams today

My surgeon says no more and not to worry about the protein amounts until about a year after. My nutritionist completely disagrees and says to drink shakes daily. I find that drinking 2-3 glasses of milk a day really helps to get your protein in.

The unjury is pretty good. Reminds me of ramen noodles broth.

Chicken soup is okay,not fabulous but not bad...I get SICK of sweet shakes and want savory or salty, the unjury chicken soup fills that void for me.

I really like the chicken soup. I will purchase more. The strawberry sorbet I only bought samples as II was tired if vanilla and chocolate. But will not waste money on it again

I love milk!! My surgeon and the NUT both wants 80-90 grams of protein a day. But at last appointment they said to work on. 75 grams. I guess they want to work up to the 80-90

I talked to my Friend she had the Sleeve, anyways she had a hard time drinking protein shakes, she ended up drinking reg shakes (jamba juice kinda shake) thats how she got her protein.
