I am not sure exactly what I should be eating exactly?!?!? Opinions greatly appreciated!!

My nutritionist told me to look for protein shakes that we're high in protein and very low in carbs and sugar. The shake I chose has a full 60 grams of protein in it and only 1 gram of sugar and 5 grams of carbs. I take that in the morning and then the rest of the day I have broth or sugar free jello, apple sauce, things like that but only at "meal times". And then of course fill up on my water intake too! It's a lot to fit it all in but that high protein shake is way easier than having to drink 3 separate shakes a day for same protein amount!

What kind of protein shake do you get LexFl? What is the serving size and how does it taste?

I really like sugar free carnation instant breakfast. Its cheap has just as much protein as other protein drinks, and it tastes good! My surgeon highly recommends it.

It's called Pro Complex. 2 scoops of protein powder for 8-12 oz of water or skim/1% milk. I got the rich milk chocolate flavor. It tastes a good deal like chocolate milk but not sickeningly sweet like some shakes were. And not chalky at all. Definitely the best tasting of all the ones I tried leading up to this one

My dr told me to stay away from carnation instant breakfast.

I wonder why? Most licensed nutritionists recommend it because you can use fresh milk/soymilk/rice milk/ lactose free milk. Its easier on the digestive system than most Protein drinks. I wonder what evidence he has that it is bad? Just wondering.

I'm still going to try it though after hearing other people bc I'm having a hard time getting protein in. What flavor is good ladies?

Part of my post op diet is drinking 1 cup of carnation instant breakfast in between my "meals". I get the chocolate. Its not too bad but I find it very filling.

I love the strawberry flavor. If you have king soopers they sell the variety pack. Most stores will order it for you. Good luck that stage is the hardest.

It seems to be. I'm happier not getting in my protein. Has anyone felt this way??
