The first few weeks after weight loss surgery are known to be some of the most difficult you will face. Your body is healing from a procedure and you need to follow a strict post-op diet to make sure that your stomach heals from your weight loss surgery. This is the reason for the staged diet after bariatric surgery.
If you are in stage 2, you have made it through the clear liquid stage and have moved on to a full liquid diet. (In most cases, not all doctors have the same postop diet plan, please stick to the plan/stages that your doctor or bariatric care team have given you) Many people complain at this stage about the lack of variety in their protein shakes. That’s why we are giving you different options and flavors to change up your protein shakes.

Make sure that you are buying the Sugar Free Jell-o or Simply Delish. Regular Jello or gelatin will have too much sugar and you do not want to risk dumping syndrome. There are plenty of options for sugar-free flavors in the jello type dessert aisle.

This recipe is a great option for people in the full liquid diet phase after gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, or other types of weight loss surgeries. It’s also a tasty option after you are back on a regular diet after surgery. Your doctor should be giving you a daily protein intake goal and many weight loss surgery patients continue to use protein drinks to help them reach that goal.
The most important thing is to keep the calories low, you do not want to be drinking too many of your calories!
