This time is more about making sure you're hydrated, work on getting your fluids for now. Protein will come with full liquids.

And to add to that, powerade zero and low cal Gatorade were a godsend for me personally. Keep in mind, Gatorade has carbs... Though during that stage I didn't worry so much about carbs, it was more about keeping hydrated. Sugar free Popsicles were also amazing.

Keep in mind your freshly sleeved tummy may be sensitive to temperature for a while. Try cold, room temp and warm. One usually is tolerated better than others. Just gotta find out what that is. Good luck.

Isopure is good. You can get it at GNC. I also like Propel Zero and Crystal Light. I have also realized not all chicken broth tastes the same.

Can you have popcicles?

I was allowed decaf coffee and fat free milk as apart of my clear liquid and herbal teas .

I was in the same boat! All the chicken/beef/vegetable broth tasted like dirt. I decided to buy some "light" chicken noodle soup and strain the noodles/chicken from it and I'm having a MUCH easier time with it. Sugar free popcicles are my new found friend and watered down diet V8 Splash.

Good luck!
