Ok, my surgery is next Friday and my surgeon informed me that I must be on a liquid diet with a max of 50 carbs per day! Uuuuuggghhh! So I guess that means only low carb protien shakes?! I went to walmart last night and bought 4 different kinds and they all taste GROSS! Is there some particular brand that anyone has had good luck with? Please God tell me there is! I can't have the slimfast or carnation because of the carbs.

Sad Sad Sparkle drinking yucky stuff.....

I guess different doctors do different stuff but here is my journal

I have what diet they told me today. There was nothing about carb restrictions just less sugar.

GOOD LUCK

Yes, it was suggested to me by my doctor, but I wanted more protein per serving so I bought the Whey protein mix from GNC and have two unopened boxes of Carnation Breakfast!

I found a great protein shake from VHT called Extreme Smoothie. It's premade and can be purchased on line. I buy mine from the Vitamin Shoppe. It takes like a shake. I have only tried the Chocolate flavor. It has 170 calories per serving and 35 grams of protein with 6 grams of carbs. I highly recommend it.
