Im still on phase 1 if the diet and I’m on it till I see the doctor on the 25th. I can only have Clear Liquids and sugar free products like Jello, broth, and Gatorade. How did the protein water taste? I just seen it the other day but I didn’t want to buy a full case till I try a single bottle!



It’s great! At least I like it. Plus It’s the best option to get the protein in during the clear liquid phase. I have been using them as a snack during my pre op and it has helped keep me going!


Why aren't you able to get all protein in? Too full? Nauseous? I will be starting soft foods this coming week.

I feel full after just a few bites. Everyone has such different guidelines to follow! I had surgery the 8th and came home the 10th. My first 2 weeks I am to have only puréed protein for 3 meals a day.
I am supposed to try to get AT LEAST 65g of protein in and there’s no way my few bites of food 3x a day is gonna make that a reality unless I drink my protein shakes for all 3 meals and that can’t be healthy! Someone suggested protein water so I’m gonna try that, that sounds like a great option. Thanks everyone

Yeah I'm finding getting alk the protein shakes down really hard. I'm up to about 450ml a day but my goal is 700ml. It's just so gross and I have no appetite xxx

I had a gastric bypass on 10th Jan and I’m not sure what was in my anaesthetic but I’m so physically restless and unsettled. I am full of energy and I am beginning to run out of things to clean or organise at home. Has anyone experienced this? Not that I’m complaining at all because it’s nice to have enough energy but I just find it odd.

Well, I finally have a date... 2-13-18. I'll keep reading this thread to see how everyone is and get tips, etc..


I had the bypass on the 9th,,, it was a b***h!!! Omg the pain was horrid!! The worst pain was the gas pain that traveled to my chest and shoulders!! Got discharged on thurs and Friday in th er for severe shoulder pain,, worked up for clot,, negative,, just that gas trying to work out,, now things feel better but getting all this protein and vitamins and meds down is not fun! Once 2 weeks comes up I’m sure I’ll be over the pain and horribleness and I’ll be looking towards the future but damn, this was no joke!!!

Sugar free jello , popsicles and a recliner is my friend,,,water and protein make me sick to even think of,, I have another week of liquids then I go to purée
