Protein drinks right after surgery.



Recommended Posts

So I am trying to get in my Protein Drinks in. I have some small Chinese tea cups that are 4oz and that is what I'm drinking out of. My question is how do you mix up your drinks? Do you mix them up in batches? How long do they last? Do you keep them in the fridge?

I didn't have to start Protein the first 2 weeks. Especially not week 1. I would make the 8oz and split it for 2 servings. Keep the second in the fridge.

I mixed up a non bariatric serving and then drank from that. It was okay for a few hours. I never made more than I could drink in a day.

The morning after my sleeve surgery.....the nurses asked me to take in one ounce and hour and chart it. It took all day for me to drink an 11 oz bottle of Premier Protein.

I pretty much stuck with ready made Premier Protein for the first week.

I'd pour it into some Hard Rock cafe jigger glasses and leave the rest in the fridge. Only time in my life I can remember sipping from a jigger glass, too. :P

It took me a coupe days before I could get in 3 shakes per day.

Geez. I couldn't touch anything but Clear Liquids for two weeks. No Protein Shakes till week 3. I know right after surgery it was really tough getting in 30 oz of Fluid of any kind. I can't imagine a shake.

I mixed them in a 24oz Blender Bottle, added ice and sipped on it at work all day. Then I'd make another one when I got home and sip on that all evening.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
