    Default 1 week period: Add banana or strawberries to protein drinks?

    Im getting mixed answers on this. Im 3 days post surgery and thought i read that you can mix some banana's or strawberries or fresh pineapple to your protein drinks. Is this possible this soon after surgery?

    I was warned on eating or drinking anything with seeds......I asked about strawberries and was told even those seeds can cause you a problem.

    I would hold off for both reasons above. You might try bannanas as they can be mush with no extras like the seeds or fibers of the pineapple. Your stomach needs time to heal before it is required to churn and churn and churn.

    when i was still in the hospital they offered to mix my first protein shake with any seedless berry or banana they also offered to make it with almond milk, soy milk or water .. because the milks will give extra protein and vitamins .. however i am 10 days post op and still take it with water since its so hard for me to actually intake anything. but there are alot of sleevers i know that started on egg whites and oatmeal on there 7th day post op .. i think everyones different im not intaking anything close to what i should i have a very sensitive tummy i think its more what you and your new tummy can handle more then it is a time period. Hope this helps a lil.
