Protein shakes after did gastric sleeve surgery



Recommended Posts

Yes, you can drink that. Lots of people who can't tolerate full protien shakes have better luck with the clear.

Try filling up a little one ounce medicine cup and drinking it in ten little sips spaced a minute or more apart. You have to take these tiny little sips all day....but you will get your fluids in this way. Just don't stop sipping. Little teenie sips all day.

If you don't get your fluids in, you will end up in the emergency room with dehydration. Many people do when they are not reading their instructions and following them to the letter after surgery. Even if you can't meet your Protein goals right away, make sure to get your fluid goals with Water or zero calorie sports drink or whatever you can tolerate. Don't do sugar drinks, you'll get sick.

If you're for real...it's stunning that you've been so poorly prepared by your provider...which is why I asked if you were trolling earlier. I can't imagine my provider giving me so little support and so little understanding of what your post surgical diet needs to be...as you are demonstrating.

If you truly have not been adequately prepared by your team, I apologize. The advice you are seeking...what to do right after your surgery...is advice best given by your provider. Read any papers they sent home immediately. If the information is not there, call their emergency line and ask why you were not prepared.

Wishing you the best.

I had a hard time with the Protein Shakes and the clear Protein. I was able to drink them but they tasted so sickeningly sweet to me that it was hard to persevere. Fortunately, I’m past all that by now.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
