Question re: Dr. Aceves post-opt diet

[Jenn100 1]

I am on day 7/8 (not sure if I count the day of surgery) and I see that I allowed to have Protein Drinks (mixed with water). I dont have access to isopure..but I have Atkins shakes..I also have something called "High Alpha whey Protein and whey isolate Protein Powder. Would any of these work during this phase of the diet? I am really struggling with getting my protein in. :scared0:

I'm told you count the day after surgery as day one. And the following is directly copied and pasted from the info Dr. Aceves sent me to prepare for post op.

"1) For the first 10 days following surgery, nothing other than Clear liquids and a Protein supplement should be consumed. ABSOLUTELY no solid food!!! Clear Liquids consist of Jell-O, sugar-free Crystal light, Water, and broth. A high quality Protein supplement such as Isopure or Whey protein should be used in order to obtain approximately 70 grams of protein per day."

Since it specifically mentions whey protein as being acceptable, it should be fine if added to Water and not in a milk based shake. You could flavor it up with some Crystal Light if you need to.

Enjoy.. (lol)
