I was on Clear Liquids for the 1st post-op week before moving to full liquids the 2nd week.

The only things I consumed during that first week were sugar-free Powerade, sugar-free Ocean Spray cranberry juice, Water, and ready-to-drink Protein Shakes.

Good morning, my surgery is Tuesday and the stress is hitting. What did everyone “eat” the first week? I know it is all about the Protein but what did you use? Has anyone used GENEPRO?


I have not had it, but it was suggested by my NUT. Since it has no flavor, it can be put in Water with Crystal light, as well as in broth. I will buy a sample from GNC before I have surgery to try it out.

I was sleeved 10/11. Warm Bone Broth has kept me sane. Good luck.

Protein Drinks are the staple early out; I would avoid that GENEPRO stuff as it neatly fits into the "too good to be true" miracle supplement scam category (and nobody really knows what it is.) whey Protein, preferably whey isolate, is the well accepted, best absorbed form.

I also had greek yogurt, eggs, and some sloppy tuna salad, though those may not be permitted on some diets the first week or two - check with your program directions.

I was on clear liquids in the hospital so days 1-3 (discharged on day 3) and then Full liquids until my follow up so about a week and a half. I would eat broth, cream Soups strained and Protein Shakes. I liked the Atkins Protein drinks and GNC Lean Protein shakes.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
