I am 5 days post op and on the full liquid diet. I am supposed to have 6... 4oz servings of Protein shakes Daily. I am using powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. . 4oz to be drank over 30 min time. Then Water or other fluids in between. Is anyone else on something similar?

Tomorrow is 5th day and I never thought taking this Protein shakes would be so hard because I enjoyed them pre op..I am on liquid diet ,they want me to consume at least 60 grams also until my follow up on Wednesday.. Its hard..probably need a protein patch if there is a such thing..lol

There is no protein patch, I struggled the first few days but it got better right after I passed 7 or 8 days. I tried all the Protein Shakes and Premier works best for me. It is creamy, not chalky. The ones you mix with Water are horrible to me. I prefer the vanilla and sometimes chocolate Premier, the other flavors taste very artificial to me, yuck.

My surgeon fussed at me on my one week ppst-op about protein, if you don't get it in you will not heal, and your hair loss will be worse.

As a last resort some people buy GENEPRO and mix it with water and something like Crystal Light or Mio drops. There is controversy about it though, my doctor does not recommend it.

I'm mixing the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein with unsweetened almond milk and it's seems to agree pretty good.

I haven't had surgery yet but I been drinking Protein shakes for a while. I like canned pure protein for on the go but what is the best is unjury unflavored. You can mix it with anything.
