4 week Pre op diet.

[Briar 3]

I don't know how I am ever going to make it 4 weeks on this diet. It's not the fact that I can't eat food. This shake that required makes me vomit. How do I know that I'm keeping enough Protein in?

What shake are you doing? Have you tried Premier Protein?

Oh no I’m so sorry. Are you allowed to try other Protein Drinks or do you have to drink theirs? If you are allowed to try others there are some tasteless ones on Amazon or different brands around. Definitely call your surgeon and ask, maybe he can suggest something.


Have a great day!

I have to drink Bariatric Advantage, and I don't have any food to track, just the Protein right now.

you can log the Protein if you are wanting to track how much you are getting in. Also it will get you in the habit of logging your food for the stages of food after surgery.

I could be wrong but I believe she is concerned that she is losing too much protein when she vomits it, since she can’t measure how much was retained before getting sick from it.
My surgeon says that one week after surgery he wants me to strive for 60 grams of protein a day, the equivalent to 2 Premier Protein drinks. If you are keeping down half of what you are taking in you should be ok but vomiting half of everything you take in cannot be healthy and must be miserable. I would definitely talk to the surgeon and let him/her know that the diet is making you sick. Maybe they will adjust it or allow you to get your protein from a different type of shake or broth etc. Hopefully they can do something to help you. I’m sorry that you are having this problem and I hope something changes to help you feel better [emoji177]
