Hi... up bright and early, today is the day. Heading to the hospital in 30 minutes. What are your Protein Drink suggestions for this first week?

While you're on Clear Liquids, Syntrax Nectar is good and has a variety of flavors. IdealFit also has some good clear Protein that you can buy in single-serving packets.

Once you're on full liquids, protein hot cocoa! I found that warm drinks went down more easily than cold (especially in the beginning), so if you have trouble drinking cold Protein Shakes (or just get tired of them), try protein hot cocoa. The BariatricPal brand is really good, but you can also get protein hot cocoa on Amazon (I like ProtiDiet brand). You can boost the protein even more by making it with Fairlife milk instead of Water.

Good luck! I struggled with Protein right after surgery. I drank a lot of Fairlife skim milk and Pedialyte.

I hope your surgery went well and you are recovering at home or will be soon. I hated the taste of the Protein Shakes right after surgery. They all tasted way too sweet to me so I did a lot of the clear Protein Drinks (premier Protein fruit punch was my go to) I found on Amazon. There are tons of clear protein options. Probably as many brands as there are of shakes.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
