Protein drinks????

[Can'tweight 41]

I have been trying out some of my samples this evening and GROSS!!!! My questions are:

1) Can we have milk in our shakes in stage 1 (clear liquids)?

2) If so, can we add things into the shakes (strawberries, blueberries, bananas, peanut butter) in stage 1 as well?

I can not stand the shakes themselves, so I need to mix something with them or after 2 or 3 I won't be able to swallow them anymore. If I can't, then I guess I will be on just the Unjury chicken Soup until I can find one I can handle.

Any suggestions??

Lisa,

I was not allowed to have milk until after my two week post op visit with the doctor. I was not allowed any fruit until 6 weeks out. But I have found that my nutritionist is on the conservative side of things. I was drinking Protein Shakes for a few months before surgery and after I could not drink the same kind. Tasted different and not in a good way. I bought some to try (if you buy them from GNC you can return what you dont like) and I finally found one I could drink 3-4 times a day. Once you are allowed...I now mix my chocolate Protein with PB2 (a powdered form of peanut butter) and I drink two a day and they taste just like Reses PB cups. Good Luck to you!
