32 of the Yummiest Grams of Protein in One Sitting!



Recommended Posts

Calories 280

Carbs 42

Fat 1

Protein 25

Actually, I think it is even more. It is 8 servings of the evaporated milk which is 200 calories. The values probably change by brand (but I used the same as Tiff) because I only get 27 g of Protein. If I calculate it on myfitnesspal.com is:

1 envelope of SF Carnation Instant Breakfast (Chocolate): 60 calories

1 Cup FF Evaporated Milk (that's 8 servings): 25*8= 200 calories

1/4 cup FF powdered milk: 60 calories

Total:

Calories: 320

Carbs: 45

Fat: 1

Sugar: 40 <-- bad carbs

Protein: 27

I already said this in a different thread, this is a high calorie, high carb item - and considering this, the protein count is actually quite low.

I am sure it tastes awesome, but it's barely better than 2 cups of fat free chocolate milk.

As someone in the other topic stated, each surgeon has their own nutritional guidelines, but I just don't think that this is something that should come as highly recommended because of it's nutritional profile...just sayin'

The carb and calorie alone would keep me from this unless the protein and Fiber count was in the 60-80 gram range.

This sounds like a very delicious thing to have as a very very rare treat once weight loss has been well under way. Sounds almost equivalent to eating a pint of low fat ice cream.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
