I just started my liquid diet yesterday drinking only protein shakes. My surgery is scheduled march 19. I was wondering if the second week after the surgery, when I start protein shakes, if that would be to soon to mix fruit in the shakes. I havnt found a protein shake that I like without adding coffee or fruit?!?!

Most responses were no...too many carbs. They did not preficit the answer with yeah.. Its ok for a little bit. They said no. Think about this... When is the cut off? When do you plan to start reduction? What do you really want for your future? If you went through surgery to start a new, healthier life then start it. Find a shake you do like or can at least tolerate and dont try to keep going back to old habits. Yes, there will come a day when you may want to add more carbs and eat more balanced, but that is most likely, closer to goal rather than day 1. Just my opinion...take it or leave it for what its worth. Best wishes.

Have you tried the nectar fuzzy naval or lemonade, etc...? I have a fuzzy navel every morning like my morning juice or I have a flavored coffee with unflavored protein powder. Nature's best isopure is the best unflavored I've tried. It's also not expensive via Amazon

I add fruit and veggies to my shakes. My Nut said it was fine. Im three weeks out. I add about 1/4cup frozen fruit and same for veggies. I do this probably 2 times a week. My ninja pulvarizes it and it helps me feel less faint when im on the treadmill.
