Hello all! I had my surgery on August 12th. I have been doing Clear liquids since the 13th. I am supposed to start a Protein supplement to stir into my clear liquids starting tomorrow, but I don't know what to get? I am amazed that this process doesn't feel real yet. I have very little pain and am not hungry...yet. The scale has moved down 3 pounds, but I can attribute that to the clear liquids. Any suggestions for the stir in protein supplement that is safe for the first week??

Thanks in advance.

Genepro, unflavored, good stuff

Hey we are surgery twins ???????????????? I start modified full liquids.. Tomorrow I've been worried about protein they haven't said much about it .. How are you healing? Are you walking a lot?

I also had surgery Aug. 12th. Was 296 day of surg. Am 282 5 days post op. Yesterday I felt physical hunger for the first time. This morning, I drank 4 oz of RTD whey protein shake and later ate 2 small bites of plain soft scrambled egg. My surgeon is Dr. Clayton Frenzel and he recommended Isopure flavored protein drink from GNC for my clear liquid stage. they come in many flavors but are all considered a clear liquid , I bought the grape, tastes like a non- salty watered down Gatorade drink. I usually add about 4 to 8 oz to my ice and water(I have a 32oz drinking cup) and sip it all day. each serving is 40g of protein. They are big bottles , so you can get atleast 2 servings out of each. fellow Aug. 12ers....

Hello, I haven't had to do the protein shakes my dietician said they are not important .. I'm wondering why though.

Oh man, I just tried the Isopure Clear Protein drinks and was so disappointed. I could absolutely taste the protein, it made me want to gag.

Oh well, there are other things I can do!

I have put the new whey protein in the same bottle as isopure and I thought it was much better diluted than isopure. They're cheaper too

I am walking more each day. I had my first trip out grocery shopping with the husband, and was very worn out afterwards. It seems like everyone has a different post op plan. I am on strict clear liquids for the first week, only 1 ml at a time every 15 minutes...I have a timer I use that I would like to smash! LOL

Lol yea that was me I'm on full fluids reg meal time now. I have 10 days til I eat again counting down the days. I walk a lot as well.. I've been out a few times and I to am exhausted ... It's drinking water or getting in fluids in I'm worried about
