Greetings,

I'm new here. My surgery is a week away. I have been using shakes for a few weeks now to get used to them, and I'm doing well with them, but I'm concerned about the calories/volume of them.

I have muscle milk light from costco thats only 8.5oz, but contains 160 calories.

i have medifast packets which contain 100 calories.

i have pure protein rtd in a can thats 12oz, and has 160 calories.....

Can anyone recommend other shakes? I know that I'm not supposed to use shakes with over 200 cals, but are ones with 200 cals ok touse both pre and post op?

Thanks for the help...I think I'll be posting a lot here!:biggrin:

Well congrats and welcome! You will find some great information here and hopefully make some friends that you can share your journey with.

I have never heard the rule about getting protein shakes with MORE than 200 calories. But everyone's docs and rules are different.

Have you tried Muscle Milk? Not sure of the calorie content, but I know lots of people like them. The biggest selection of protein shakes I have found were at one of our big chain vitamin shops (sort of like GNC).
