Marlene....I've never heard of a surgeon telling anyone NO to doing a protein shake on the road verses making bad food choices. I'd say your surgeon will say it's OK. You might want to make sure though that your shake says Meal Replacement on it so your get all the much needed nutrients. Good luck and be safe today.

Being on the road all day pack a little cooler and keep them cold. That shouldn't be a problem. They like you to get your protein from food with supplementing with shakes but if this is not a regular thing you should be fine. If you are on the road all the time for work them you will have to start planning out your menu.

What does your plan say? They should've given you a meal plan based on what stage you're at & will be at as you move along, call them & ask. Every surgeons plan is different so we can't tell you what to eat.
No one surgery is better than the other, what works for one may not work for another.

We really need more information! Which surgery? Is this a one-off?
And even then, at 4 weeks post-op, it is your doctor who should be answering this.
