Hi, I'm day five post op and getting in about 50oz and that is about as much is I can take. I sip all day and learned hot and warm is best. My question is that on my clear post op liquid diet I see they have allowed me sugar free Jello but if I sip too much it hurts my pouch and I can't imagine trying the jello. I would like to though and just wanted to ask has anyone else done jello on the post op day 1-7 diet. Also, I can only get in two Protein shakes per day. I am supposed to be up to three and just can't.

@Hula96744:

Congratulations on the weight loss! I hope your post-surgery checkup went well. Mine is tomorrow - I hope I have some good news, too!

Take care -

I, too, had my surgery on September 12th - can I be a surgisister, too, @@Hula96744?

I'm still on the clear liquid stage until I have my 1st follow up with my doctor on 9/22. Per instructions, I'm drinking at least 64 oz a day, including at least 60 g clear liquid Protein (Isopure ready-to-drink and nectar powdered).

My question is this: is it normal to feel so weak and run down? I thought if I kept my protein intake up, I'd have a bit more energy, but I'm worn out. Am I expecting too much only a week after surgery? Surely this isn't my 'new normal' after gastric bypass.

Any advice/feedback is appreciated!

Sorry I did not see your post it questions and I had not responded. I don't know why I am not getting notified on the app. Anyway, I hope by now you're feeling better. You're still healing and I too get the weakness from time to time. I asked my team and they said up my protein even more than the 60 grams. I can barely do that. So Gene pro is an unflavored protein at 3O grams per tablespoon. Get it and add it to anything. Feel better and yes we can be surgery sisters. ????

Brave is the one who chose this journey!

I'm 8 days post-op and my team has me drinking 3 1oz shots of Pro-Source each day. Each ounce contains 15 grams of Protein.
