Are protein shakes safe to drink after surgery? I have whey protein at home due to regular gym visits, but I was wondering if there are any surgeons who don't suggest it? I will also be asking my surgeon this Monday.
Answer: Protein Shakes After Surgery Our office recommends that our patients take 100 grams of protein per day in the healing phase for the first six weeks following surgery. You and your plastic surgeon can discuss specific brands.Kenneth B. Hughes, MDBoard Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA 90066

Answer: Protein Supplements Hello,Thank you for your question. Generally, protein itself shouldn't negatively affect your healing but many Plastic Surgeons will want you to avoid all supplements and medications which could affect your bleeding. I recommend that you ask your Plastic Surgeon to review and approve this for you.All the best

Answer: Protein shakes Hello, I think it is wise to check with your surgeon as you have planned. In general a protein supplement shouldn't have an adverse effect on a surgical procedure, but your surgeon can check the other ingredients to make sure that there is nothing that could affect normal blood clotting or wound healing.

Answer: Diet after surgery I would be concerned about anything that would increase constipation, because that is already going to be a problem with pain medications after surgery. Otherwise, can't think of a reason to limit protein shakes. Best of luck with your surgery!
