Dr says NO protein shakes? Im confused
Yep, My Dr. wanted my off Protein shakes and on real food as soon as possible. I didn't have any protein shakes after the first two weeks post-op. I do on occasion have one now, but it's because I chose to do so on occasion and not because I feel like I have to. I usually do them on days where I just don't feel like eating much (more during the summer than any other time).

I had RNY and my DR did not recommend protein shakes. They were never part of the program. The nutritionist explained that because of the bypassed portion of the intestine, our new plumbing would not absorb the protein but would the calories, and it would be an expensive way to slow down weight loss.
I'm not sure if this would apply to VSG though?????

If you are having a RNY, that is a recipe for disaster. Having snacks between meals will keep you from suffering from Reactive Hypoglycemia. You NEED to eat every 3 or so hours.
Just ask ANYONE, esp on the RNY board who has it and you will find many who do. It is a very common side effect of the RNY.
