Tasteless protein powder can be a game changer when trying to hit your protein target, particularly in the recovery phases. It is also helpful if you have limited capacity or struggle to hit your protein target longer term.

But after all those soups and smoothies it might be time to freshen up how you use it.

Here are four of our favourite ways:
✔️ avocado + lemon + protein powder + crackers
✔️ protein powder + milk / yoghurt + overnight oats + fruit
✔️ milk based coffee + protein powder
✔️ protein balls made with protein powder.

Are you hungry within an hour of eating? 🤔

You could be eating food and drinking fluid too close together.

When you eat and drink too close to each other, it speeds up how quickly food moves through your sleeve or pouch, leaving your stomach emptier sooner 💡

This is one of the key 'Common Culprits' we see that can lead to plateaus and weight regain after bariatric surgery 😳

And that is why it is one of the 'Common Culprits' we cover in our FREE online workshop, Halt the Weight Regain Train 🚂

In our hour-long workshop we will unpack some of the biggest habits that can derail you after surgery, including eating and drinking together.

We will then arm you with real strategies you can walk away and implement right away! 💪🏻

14/01/2026

If you (or someone you know) are just starting out on your weight loss surgery journey, here are four things you need to avoid during your recovery phases:

🚫 Excess caffeine
Try to limit to no more than two cups of coffee or four cups of caffeinated tea per day.

Whilst your new sleeve or pouch is healing, excess caffeine may irritate your stomach leading to symptoms such as reflux, nausea, and diarrhoea. It can also make it hard to absorb some nutrients so always have caffeinated drinks away from your vitamin and mineral supplements.

🚫 Alcohol
Avoid alcohol for a minimum of three months following surgery, or as guided by your team.

Alcohol can significantly increase the risk of ulcers developing in your healing stomach, so it is essential you avoid all alcohol for at least three months.

🚫 Carbonated drinks
Avoid carbonated drinks for a minimum of three months post-surgery, or as guided by your team.

Carbonated drinks can lead to abdominal discomfort and trigger symptoms such as reflux, bloating and burping. It can also put pressure on your healing stomach.

🚫 High sugar and high fat fluids and purees
Avoid high sugar and high fat fluids and purees such as milkshakes from cafes or takeaway stores and full cream, added sugar custards, ice-creams and mousses.

Excess fat and sugar is more difficult for your body to absorb following your weight loss surgery and can lead to nausea, stomach cramps, diarrhoea and vomiting. Excess fat and sugar will also provide excess calories, and this can impact your rate of weight loss.

To ensure you are on the right track heading into your bariatric surgery, check out our comprehensive Weight Loss Surgery QuickStart eBook.
