Protein Shakes

I CAN TOLERATE FRUITS NOW AT 7WEEKS, i JUST GOTTA GO THROUGH AN ACT OF CONGRESS TO DO IT

AppLE: PEEL SKIN OFF AND CUT IN THIN SLICES OR SMALL CHUNCKS FOR SNACKING

ORANGE: PEEL OFF OUTER MEMBRANE COULD BE TOO DIFFICULT TO DIGEST, THE PULP AND THE JUICE IS OK TO EAT

CLEMENTINE AND TANGERINES; PEEL AWAY MEMBRANE AND SEED EAT PULP ANDJUICE

GRAPES : PEEL SOME SKINS ARE PAPERTHIN BUT SOME ARE TOO THICK TO EAT. 
 

I'm still pre-op, but in my nutrition seminar with my nut they told me that i am supposed to start full liquids, including protein shakes on day 4(the day after I get home from the hospital).  She said that fruit is fine to put in the shakes, but only one at a time in case It doesn't agree with me I know what it was.  The other thing they said was to make sure that you blend it until there are NO more chunks and to strain it if I have to.  Another option that you might want to try are SF syrups.  I think that super walmart sells some flavors in their coffee aisle, and you can also buy them online.  Lollicup has pretty good prices on Torani syrups.  You should ask your nut before trying the fruit though because every surgeon and nut are different.  Hope this helps and congrats on your surgery!

Hello and first let me congratulate you on the joining us on the loser bench.  I'm no surgeon or nutritionist, however, when I had surgery years ago I wasn't able to do fruit for months.  So my recommendation would be consult your surgeon's office.  Good luck.
