Protein shake/juice question

Hello!

VSG tomorrow! Yay!

So I have 2 questions.

1) I got a juicer for Christmas, and am wondering how to best utilize it for my post op period. I know that juices are usually not recommended due to the sugar content, but I want to know if veggie juices ie carrot, celery, beet, etc. are ok in the full liquid stage. I would like to get in liquids with a bit more substance than just Crystal Light, creamed Soups, etc. Which leads me to my second question...

2) I do not like sweetened Protein drinks at all, and wondered if it is ok to simply keep only the unflavored protein and just mix it in with whatever I eat/drink? That would keep things a lot easier then trying to find different flavors that I like, etc. Im thinking I could make some of my own veggie/fruit juices (diluted) and mix some protein in and let that be that.

Any feedback please? Thanks! :D

I am wishing you the best tomorrow! That is a great question as I feel the same way...do not like sweetened drinks and would like to try diluted fruit juices with liquid unflavored protein. I will keep tabs on you to see how it goes. I go for Sleeve on Jan 3~

Thinking of you~
