I've heard from some people that they are drinking slim fast shakes as their protein shake. SF shakes have 10g of protein and at my last nutrition appt, the nutritionist said we'd need at least 24g of protein per scoop of powder. For those who are drinking the SF shakes, how do you make up the protein that's necessary per meal? (before surgery and liquid stage post surgery)

It would be in your best interest to stick to protein drinks and avoid Slim Fast, Ensure, etc.

Slim Fast Low Carb has 20g of protein and the vanilla creme is good.

yeah, drink the protein shakes, they have way more than slim fast.

I like that too. Some Protein drinks don't even have that much. Like nectar for example.

There is an Ensure high protein drink out. It has 25 grams of protein the downside of it is it has a couple extra grams of sugar than the docs prefer and it is also 14 oz.

Thanks. I guess i'll stick to the whey protein powders and try to get used to them

If you can find an immersion blender (there are a bunch on ebay) they mix Protein Powder to the consistency of a milkshake (almost) and make them much more

palatable. A little fruit helps too.

Thanks. We actually do have one and i never thought to use it for the protein shake!!

I'm also looking into purchasing the magic bullet if it's not too pricey.
