Help!! I don't know what kind of protein drinks to drink for pre-op liquid diet!!

I start my liquid diet tomorrow an have no clue what to get. Can I drink slim fast? or those other diet protein drinks or do I get the whey powder

drinks? I get sleeved April 15 with Dr. Garcia.

my pre-op op instructions included slim fast and carnation instant breakfast- the no sugar added kind..... good luck!!

I was told not to have slim fast, too much sugar..The atkins shakes are ok, I also got the Whey protein powder from GNC which is good..You can also have Muscle milk, the cookies and cream one is very good..Good luck to you..Didn't your Dr give you a list?

Thank you

Try the Isopure Protein drinks. They are like G2 or poweraide zero. Considered Clear liquids but they pack 2 oz of protein per oz! Several flavors to choose from, I personally liked the grape. Also nectar has several flavors, very light tasting, like crystal light. 24 grams of protein and you can mix them as light as you like.

For Protein shakes the premier shakes from costco and Sams are very good. 160 calories and 30 grams of protein and only 1 gram of sugar.

Good luck!

If you like chocolate, I recommend getting to a GNC and having them whip you up a sample of this:

You would want to drink only half a serving at time, but it's delicious!

Really any whey protein isolate powder will work as long as it's sugar free. If you have a GNC gold card, you can get a decent price on the GNC brand ones during the first week of the month.. Also Walmart has powders.. I mixed my powders with all kinds of stuff... Milk, water, crystal light, coffee.. just to change the taste.. My favorite is Jay Robb, but I ordered it online and you don't have time for that. Also, if you can find any unflavored, you should get some, I mix it with jello after adding the cold water and it's pretty good... also adding a bit to broths is nice too so you don't get so burned out on sweet.

thanks

I lived on glucerna even though Im not a diabetic. I loooooved the vanilla one. Yummy. i drank one strawberry slimfast for breakfast and 4 glucernas a day. Totaled 70g protein and 900 calories.

Premier protein shakes sold at Costco and sams club are my favorite especially chocolate flavor. I heat it up a little and it tastes like hot chocolate to me. Yum!

Nice tip. Ill have to try that. Do you microwave it?

Yes!!! I just let it cool off a little. Yum!

I just tried the Jay Robb chocolate mixed with vanilla almond milk--delish!!!! I have my first surgical consultation tomorrow and because I am self pay I should have surgery within 3 weeks. I am trying out the different shakes and the Jay Robb is by far the best. It has none of those weird aftertastes or chemical type tastes. It's better than a chocolate milkshake.

where do u get it at?

I got it at Drug Emporium but I know the company ships direct or there is always Amazon.
