Hi. My nurse just switched me from 2 shakes (60g of protein) and a small meal to 5 shakes a day, no food. Does anyone have any experience with so much Protein a day? She says to not worry but i'm a bit nervous. I'm worried that so much protein will have a negative effect maybe. Especially because i totally didn't get that much protein in my regular diet as i didn't eat much. Also will the 5 shakes, no food help me lose the 25-40 lbs that i need to get my surgery scheduled faster? Thanks,

Kyei

For 2 weeks pre-op I drank 5 protein drinks a day and lost 27 lbs before surgery...I think she may have a point there. Follow her advice and stick to it okay!

Ok. Thanks so much.

I am on a pre op high protein diet (Surgery is on Monday) and I have 4 protein shakes a day. I am on day 4 of my diet and am down 10 pounds so I guess its working!
