Getting to 800 calories on my pre-op liquid diet and staying under 50 carbs.

I hit 50 carbs and I'm only at about 500 calories. Its hard to avoid carbs when I cant have any meats and im just on liquid!

ANy ideas?!?!?!

Hi - I start my 2 week liquid diet tomorrow and my Dr has me on Slim Fast Carb control drinks - I tried one over the weekend and they weren't bad, I chopped up ice and made like a milk shake and not bad at all! Maybe you can try the carb control ones - I have to have about 5 a day with sugar free jello/pop and I can have broth. Good Luck - hope this helps! Oh - the drinks are 190 cals each

I use EAS AdvantEDGE carb control shakes. 17g protein, 110 cal. and 4 carbs. You could have up to 7 a day or just mix them in with what you are using now.

I found so really good protien powder 100 cal. at the health food store and it is Mango flavored and I used the slim fast as well. next I went and bought a Magic Bullett and pretend they are all shakes. Hope this helps a little

I use to drink the slim fast carb control but there was a big recall on them not too long ago and they are nowhere to be found anymore.

I tried the eas advantage ones too, they arent bad, maybe illl start having a few of those during the day. My Protein now is low in carbs but I like to mix it with milk which burns up my carb allowance.

thanks for the advice.... now if i can figure out how to get rid of this headache!

Well if they are selling them then they cant be on recall anymore... but i cant find them anymore since there was a recall :-(
