Hi,

I had surgery yesterday and have to be on clear liquids for 3 days. Then I can have proteins after the 3rd day. Anyone drink their creamy protein the day after surgery?

surprisingly I am missing the protein! Lol

I did but in very tiny sips and room temp. The cold hurt

Im an not a Dr, but I wasn’t allowed to have protein after my 6th week...that was because protein stick/stays in stomach longer time.. and Dr wanted me to have liquids/soft foods at the beginning.. always check with your Dr, remember takes about 3 to 4 weeks for stomach to heal... good luck

I couldn't have protein drinks for the first week. Clear liquids only. Be careful, because your new stomach might not agree with creamy protein just yet. If your doctor allows it on day 3, then you only have to wait 2 more days, so hang in there. You will be sipping on protein shakes in no time.

Congratulations on the next chapter of your journey!

Our program starts shakes and purees the 1st day home, so around day 3.

I had my RNY 10/2. I was not allowed to have anything to drink that day. Yesterday I could have clear liquids. Today my surgeon instructed me to start my two weeks of liquid diet again. I have not been hungry at all but has been a process to get my water in. I have been able to keep one premier shake down. But I am so full. Every surgeon is different.

My program starts full liquids the first day home so that included 3 protein shakes a day, or at least that's what they wanted. It was hard to get 3 in and drink my fluids too.

Thank you friends ❤️
