When did you start protein shake?



Recommended Posts

How long did you wait after surgery to drink Protein Shakes? I know All Drs are different but mine wants me on clear fluids for a week .

I was only on Clear liquids in the hospital so when I got home on day 2, Protein shakes were fine.

but these orders are going to vary depending on your own personal situation post surgery, so please stick with what your doctor says unless you speak to him and get cleared sooner.

some doctors are also a lot more cautious during the post op period and that also is a factor sometimes. Clear Liquids for a week seems to be a pretty common order.

I was on clear liquids for a week as well. My surgeon's guidelines were to get my Protein for that week from Isopure(GNC). I didn't like any of the flavors but kept sipping until I was moved to regular Protein shakes during the full liquid phase.

I was only on clears for a day, but I started that day with Protein Shakes that are clear liquid: Syntrax Nectar mixed with Water. I was also offered Isopure (aka Isopuke), another clear Protein Drink, but it was revolting and I stuck with my Syntrax. That was only for the 24 hours after surgery though, after that I moved on to full liquids.

I'll be having Protein Shakes in the hospital. They provide ensure and glucerna, and told me if I wanted something different to bring it with me - so I'll have my Premier Protein with me.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
