I was sleeve on 9/22, this past thursday.

My week 1 and 2 instructions say liquid diet "anything you can drink through a straw" ....

Could I have a few sips of a milkshake or something?

My NUT told me no straw because it puts more air into your stomach. She also said no dairy till week 4 and ice cream was a no no due to sugar and fat both which they don't want in your healing stomach

@@kmorri you are doing great! I can tell you

Respect the sleeve. Be gentle. Try some Isopure at GNC. If you can tolerate the taste it is great. 40g of Protein and hydration. Kept me moving two years ago.

Ensure is full of sugar. Special k is also so sugary that it made me sick once.

That might be what is wrong with me. I had a few sips of one earlier, after I took a shower I was so weak and light headed, shaking, like my sugar dropped or something. I am going now to get some of the premier shakes that everyone recommends.

Oh dear lord, were you sleeved by a team of chimpanzees? Is that all the guidance your post op instructions contains? Special K protein' drinks' are not your best option, BTW.

Actually I have an excellent doctor!

When our elderly patients don't eat anything, we give them either ensure or ice cream. It's not giving them the nutritions they need but they do get calories to live on. It is full of sugar and other garbage. There was also a study on it recently which suggests that it's the worse form of a Meal Replacement one could consume.

I have tried special k in the past myself and the very thought of it disgusts me.

Good luck! Please try wArm broths made from bouillon, sugar free Popsicles, jello, and anything at this stage to get some liquids in. I think a few premier protein shakes will give you much needed energy. Did you see a Nutritionist, and if so, can you call her or him for guidance, or your surgeons staff? If not, keep searching by Google, for food recommendations in stages of VSG. Good luck, day by day you will get stronger!

Haven't had surgery yet tomorrow is my day but on pre op diet my sister told me put Protein shake (I like the premier ready to drink) in freezer for awhile then put in a glass to get cold. When ready to drink comes out like a shake. Maybe that will help.

I use the premade premier shakes and I make my own as well. Pinterest is awesome for Protein shake recipes. You just have to kinda watch the sugars in them. Good Luck!

I was sleeved on the 21st started full liquids on day three. Protein shakes, SF Jello, SF pudding, Soup broth and light yogurt...

I'm one week out of surgery today. The Protein shake my med team recommended was from Bariatric Advantage. I ordered it from amazon and it was here in 2 days. i mix mine with Water and ice. It seems to help me feel more energy.
