Anyone out there had RNY Lap surgery.

I am one week post-op with RNY Lap surgery. To date, I have been doing great, Thank God. I have not had any episodes of vomiting or nausea. I have tolerated all of my liquids well and I am looking forward to my first post-op visit during the coming week. If any one has any suggestions of very good protien powders and protein meal shakes please let me know.

Sorry, all my protein supplements were provided by the surgeron as part of the "package". I am on Opti-fast protein shakes and soups Pat

Hi, I had my lap surgery on 12/19 and I am drinking the Atkins shakes that are premixed, you can buy them in Walmart and Stop & Shop, they have 20 grams of protein in the 11 oz can and they have several flavors. I also drink Isopure fruit flavored drinks, they look like gatorade and I find them at the Vitamin Shoppe or in natural food stores, they have a variety of flavors and have 45 grams of protein per bottle. I havent tried the protein powders because this is just easier and it seems most people that use the powders dont like them. I also tried a protein drink called Nitro Tech which has 45 grams of protein also, I think it was tropical punch, I added some ice to water it down a little and it was pretty good. Good luck to you!!

I had RNY lap surgery 12/5. When I was on liquids, I drank Ensure High protein and Boost high protein that I bought at Walgreens. I tolerated them well.

Hi, Jacquette. I had my lap RNY on 12/30, so I am 6 days post-op. I think I'm doing very well. I am tolerating clear liquids, jello, all my vitamins. I haven't had any nausea and the pain is much less than I expected it to be. I've noticed a marked improvement in the last couple of days in terms of my ability to get up and down. I'm walking 2-3 times a day; my goal is to get that up to 3-4 times before I go back to work on the 20th. As for protein drinks, I'm drinking Worldwide's Pure Protein from Trader Joe's: 35 grams of protein, 3 grams of carbs. They're OK. When I have some time, I'll experiment with others. All in all, this has been easier than I had anticipated.

I use Designer Whey protien, 1 and a ahlf scoops in 6oz water

Glad that your doing great. I also am feeling great I went to work today for 7 hours and that went well. I have been drinking Isopure that come in flavors look like gatoraid and they have 40 grams of protein which is pretty good. What is your diet for the next couple of weeks I was just wondering what others are on for the first couple of weeks. Talk to you later

GLAD TO HEAR YOU ARE DOING GREAT!! I HAD MY SURGERY ON DEC 19TH AND HAD A REAL HARD TIME FINDING A PROTIEN DRINK THAT DID NOT TASTE AWEFUL. YESTERDAY I FINALLY FOUND ONE!!
