I'm doing all I can to prepare fore surgery in February and I'm a bit anxious for answers regarding nutrition. How many carbs are suggested per day once sleeved? I don't meet with the NUT until late January so I am interested in what others have been advised to consume. I was looking at the Young Living protein powder but it has 3x the carbs that Premier Protein has.

You're going to go to a protein first sort of diet. You won't even be worrying about carbs for a good 9 to 12 months post surgery. I think for women you need to be getting around 70 to 75g of protein in per day after the surgery. Although I am sure someone else a bit more knowledgeable in what women need post surgery will chime in here and give better advice. Either way good luck to you.

I was told to look for protein with 5-7 carbs or less. My requirement was 70-75g per day. I had a hard time finding stuff I liked, so I recommend that you try some samples & see what you like prior to surgery.

I found something in Krogers and Speedway called Rockin Refuel muscle builder...taste like c hocolste milk

9 carbs, 30 protein

Thank you for your feedback. I will keep looking.

My doctor recommended 65-75 grams of protein per day. Have you tried Gnc lean 25? can be purchased at SAMs club. Bought them in bulk before my surgery nov 24 2015. Also isopure protein drink I try to catch them on sale at Gnc regular price is to expensive for me. Many flavors that I really like 20 oz bottle has 40 grams of protein. I freeze them put in my shaker bottle and sip all day until all finished.

I went to GNC today and picked up several of the shakes(banana, strawberry, chocolate and vanilla) since they were on sale (buy 3 get one free). I wanted to try the berry and orange but they didn't have the individual servings. I am going to hold off buying more until I see the NUT since I have no idea what the restrictions are. Hopefully they will settle in my stomach better.

I swear by this Rockin Refuel
