I'm a bit late to this, but wanted to reply. My brother had gastric sleeve surgery in October 2018. We went on a cruise (Carnival) in March 2019. He was still required to drink protein daily. He had to submit a form along with a note from his doctor saying the drinks were medically necessary. It had to be approved by the appropriate department ahead of time. Even with the approval, security confiscated his drinks when we arrived. I spent almost an hour on the phone with no luck. We finally talked (randomly) with a Carnival rep. who had been through the surgery herself and she advocated for him. We ended up in a supervisor's office and she had the drinks brought up to him before we boarded.
