4 Days Post OP!!!

Hi all I had my surgery on 3/23 @St Agnes I'm home and feeling fine. walking a bit, plan on increasing my walk tomorrow. I have no pain other then bending and sleeping but it'll get better. I'll looking forward to my 2wk follow-up next week. And i'm going to try to make the post-op only support group next week @ St. Agnes..any advise on meals and protein intake is appreicated.

Have you tried the Isopure No Carb Protein drink? These are clear protein drinks --40 grams of protein a bottle --- you'd probably be able to tolerate that one mixed with water ( like the Apple Melon, Grape, and Alpine Punch --the Orange is horrible). A couple others that I drink are Lean Body --40 grams (chocolate); Worldwide RTD (Strawberry Smoothie) and Atkins drink. The Lean Body one you can make two meals out of that one.

Congrats!!! My sister had her;s on 3/26.....u guys probably passed each other. I got my sister the shakes from bariatriceating.com, not bad.....I hope to see you at the support group Jen

Welcome to the losing side!!! Aime

Hi Tina and welcome to the loosing side. Your doing good walking. It helps alot. kelly

Hi Tina - Glad to hear everything is going well. When I started drinking protein drinks, I bought sample packs from bariatric eating and unjury, but my tastes/smell changed after surgery, and they made me gag!! So then I switched to the EAS Advant Edge RTD shakes - the chocolate fudge tasted like a Yoo-Hoo to me. Now, I still use the EAS because I like the thinner consistency and I use the French Vanilla as a creamer in my coffee. I also like the clear Isopure - I think I really liked the blue raspberry and the fruit punch. Good luck, you loser!!! Tia

Hello!! Congratulations!! I'am 8 days out, I've been trying to drink the Isopure "cookies and cream" however, just today I ventured out to the store to buy some added ingred. to spice up my protein shakes, I was mixing the powder with the "Adkins Advant" pre made canned shakes also, but my taste buds, got bored quickly!! That's why I went out and purchased some "added" ingred. to jazz it up just a little bit?? Don't worry everyone I did it a SF, Low Carb. healthy way also. I won't say it's the best, but it is a little better than the b4 shakes?? It was a recipe from the "before & after" pink book. I will continue trying, until I find the right combonation!! Whatever it takes. So Good Luck to you!! Peace. jbug
