Forgot the Shakes....

Ok...So my girlfriend went to work and forgot her EAS shakes. She had the procedure on FEB. 8th. Due to about 2 feet of snow i cannot bring her the shakes. What else can she drink so that she is not hungry?

What does she have access to? She can have skim milk (even warmed with a little splenda is very filling), fat free/sugar free pudding, sugar free Jello, creamy Soups, Decaf tea...

she actually works in the kitchen of a hospital. so she can pretty much choose anything

Well I was on solids 2 weeks after surgery so I could've eaten anything. I guess it depends on what diet her doctor has her following...what stage is she at?

She works in a hospital kitchen? She's got it made--there are many options! If she's on a full liquid diet, any of the dietitians will be able to direct her.

If she's limited to shakes, the hospital likely stocks Glucerna shakes for diabetics; they're pretty well-balanced, in terms of Protein, fat, and carb. (Lower carb that your run-of-the-mill shakes.)

Broths, creamy Soups (if allowed), Jello--she really should be okay. If she needs guidance, the hospital dietitian would, I am sure, be very happy to help her choose.

You're a good friend to help her out. :eek:
