RNY 10/14/2014 ** I can NOT make myself drink another Protein Shake... HELP?
on 10/27/14 6:49 am
At the week 3 mark (starting week 3 would be the end of the second week since you left the hospital) we can have scrambled eggs (no more than 1/2 an egg), canned or packaged tuna or salmon, 1/4 to a 1/2 piece of toast with any of those foods. Small bites and chew well. At the 4 week mark and until the end of week 6 (so 3 weeks total), I can have all of the foods from before plus eggs any style, baked or broiled flaky fish, soft cooked veggies, soft fruits (no skin), soft cooked and drained pasta, drained minestrone soup, soft cooked beans and legumes, hummus, tofu, couscous, or quinoa... I know a lot of people say that pasta is a huge no no, but this is what I was given by my doc and nut :)
Please follow your surgeon's plan, not the plan of someone else's surgeon.

that might be the reason he suggests a particular brand of shake. but many surgeons suggest protein shakes because it's nearly impossible to eat enough food to get enough protein in the first few weeks.
