Had surgery on Thursday and still can't get a whole serving of my protein in. Is this normal?

I was on clear liquids for a week, then the next week was full (strained) liquids. If you count greek yogurt as protein, then it was at 7 days post op for me...and only a teaspoon of it.

My surgeon would not allow you to be released from the hospital until you drank a 6oz protein drink.

RNY on 11/04/08

The day of my surgery. They brought me a Cytomax clear protein drink as soon as I got to my room after surgery. Took me the rest of the day to drink it.

Lap Band on 04/23/06

When asking questions like this, it is very helpful to say which surgery you had. With my band, I was drinking high protein, thin soups by day three.

Highest 290, Banded - 248 Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.

Happily banded since May 2006. Regain of 28lbs 2013-14. ALL GONE!

But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,

they gave me protein in my broth when I got in my room. It made me sick to my stomach. Had surgery on Thursday just finished a protein shake today.

I had to drink a 6oz protein drink before I could leave the hospital (RNY). I did not have any issues, it tasted super sweet, but I could choke that down to be able to leave.

After I got home, I started drinking the Isopure ready made drinks and those were not as sweet and went down much better.

I am one week out from RNY and I am just getting the full amount in. I shoot for more each day. It keeps getting easier! Keep plugging away!
