What can I eat on a liquid diet after surgery?

After you undergo surgery, your doctor will give you key guidelines on how to safely recover after the procedure. One universal guideline regardless of your medical history is that post-recovery you must stay on a liquid diet. 

Some great solutions for eating on a liquid diet include drinking water, diluted fruit juices, tea and coffee without milk and cream, and to ensure you get protein in your diet, protein powder. However, not all protein powders are created alike. It is a requirement that the protein powder you choose has enough protein per serving in order to meet your nutritional intake daily. Protein Milkshake is the best protein powder for weight loss and best protein powder for bariatric patients as it consists of 22 grams per serving, and does not contain any harmful additives or sweeteners. 

What kind of protein do bariatric patients need?

Whey protein isolate is the preferred type of protein for bariatric patients because it is the easiest to digest. Most bariatric-specific protein shakes will be 100% whey isolate or primarily whey protein. Protein Milkshake is an all-natural organic grass-fed protein powder that is designed to help you lose weight and curb cravings. Protein Milkshake also comes in a vegan form if you are vegan, made with naturally derived watermelon powder that is low calorie, gluten-free, and sugar-free. 

Can you have smoothies after gastric bypass?

In the first several months of post-op gastric sleeve surgery, a full liquid diet must be followed, which is why most health professionals will recommend liquid protein supplements, especially protein powders, as a bariatric protein milk shake will give you the nutritional value you need in order to meet your nutrition needs daily. Liquid protein supplements such as shakes and powders are the easiest to take in right after surgery. After the first two to three months (timeline depends on your doctor) you can incorporate traditional protein and food back into your diet- however, many of our bariatric and gastric sleeve customers continue to use Protein Milkshake as a meal replacement twice a day as it is an easy and convenient source of protein and nutrition.
