Good evening everyone!! How much protein drinks were you guys able to drink a week post op?

Not very much! Seems like some days it took me all day to finish one shake!

That’s how I feel, it’s hard. They expect me to drink two a day. But I feel full all the time. I’m a week post op

It's hard I barely could drink 1

Have you got tired of them yet ? Yeah I can barley do 1 right now

I was able to get 2 down of the milky ones - but I didn't feel resctriction with liquids.

I also ordered a lemonade flavoured one that could be added to the water I was already drinking.

That’s really good! I’m drinking the chocolate premier protein on.. I could only drink 1 a day because I feel super full all the time .. I’ve never heard of the lemonade one.. what brand is it ?

This is the one I ordered, it's not bad. A good change from the milky stuff.

Thank you, I will try it out! ?

I got the mixed berry one, but haven't tried it yet.

I kind of wish I'd ordered it as I'm out of the lemonade mood the last few days, LOL.

I am 2 weeks post op, and started out using the chocolate Premier Protein. It was hard to get the volume down, but it started to taste soooooo sweet - like chocolate syrup. I also had unbelievable explosive gas/stool that was smelly, unpredictable, and very unpleasant. Prior to surgery I had given up sugar and all artificial sweetners, colors, and flavoring. I think I was reacting to the very artificially flavored PP. I switched to a very pure powdered protein that I mix myself with half the volume. I am using BioChem 100% Whey Isolate Protein that I got at Whole Foods. Nothing artificial in it. The gas stopped by the next day and the lower volume is easier to get down. Now my poor husband has to return 4 cases of Premier Protein.

I had the same gassy problem with Premier Protein and decided it was the lactose... I think I can eat yogurt and cheese, but high concentration of lactose sends me running to the bathroom!
