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'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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
