Anyone mix Protein in say a Starbucks light frapp during the post-op liquid phase? I'm scheduled 12/16 and trying to figure out how to get my protein in after while putting it in something I enjoy. No whip or caramel (darn, favorite part)!

A grande light frappucinno has 23g of sugar and 24g of carbs. That would not be acceptable on my plan, well ever. A Protein shake by Premier, Quest or Syntrax would be a much better option. I know to be successful, I had to become much more selective about what I eat and drink. Again, this is all as it relates to me (I'm 2 and a half years post surgery I wouldn't drink anything with that much sugar or carbs. That drink has more carbs than a eat some days. Just a bit of advice, because I want people to be successful, you really should become a smart consumer and read before you consume. If you were aware of the stats of this drink and still are considering it post op, I apologize for trying to foist my beliefs regarding successful behavior post surgery, on you. Good luck!

An additional thought. If it's the coffee flavor you like, Sytrax makes a mocha flavored Protein powder as does Click and Chike. Or you can mix coffee (if allowed on your plan) in with a chocolate or vanilla Protein shake. You might want to check those out. All much better options than a frappuccino.

@staceyrg2, thank u for the nutritional stats. I'm just in the process of researching ahead of the surgery so reason I asked. Obviously I will be looking close at carbs, sugars, etc before I drink anything during my pre-op liquid and post-op liquid and beyond so know this is out. It is the mocha flavor I like so will look up some options. Thanks

Protein shakes are re

ally sweet. The shake powder doesn't mix well with hot stuff. I think you will find the Starbucks drink too sweet after surgery.
