Premier Protein Shakes

[lalaj 108]

I'm consuming two a day during the pre op diet. Since they are so low in carbs and sugar, I was wondering if I could consume three a day. What are your thoughts on this? Any feedback would be helpful. Please share

Thanks,

Lala

They have me doing 2 Protein shakes a day that are under 200 cal and have at least 15gm of Protein and 1 meal under 300 cal, under 15 carbs and over 15gm of protein for days 1-7 of the pre-op diet. Then on days 8-13, I will do 4 of those shakes a day, no solid food, then Clear liquids only in Day 14- the day before surgery.

I'm on Day 6. I 'm glad its getting a little better. Days 3 and 4 were the worst,

Did they give you a Cal count? As long as you stay under that I would say yes. Two of those is only 220 Cal's.

No cal count, nothing but a pre op paper with food choices and how many servings I could have. I can have unlimited broth, sf Jello and Popsicles, crystal light or any 0calorie drinks, coffee or tea. And 1-2 servings of Protein shakes, half cups of skim milk-1serv, cottage cheese(yuck!), soy milk, light yogurt 1/8ozserv... So I'm lost really. Just concerned about the shakes.

Thanks so much for replying

Sorry two premier shakes have 320 cals, stupid phone. Anyway. Based on calories its seems like if you would rather substitue a yogurt for another shake you could probably do that. However cottage cheese or yogurt are giving you certain nutrients etc. Post op I choose low fat cottage cheese with either pinapple or herbs added.

I would love to substitute. Hopefully my dr gets back to me. She's usually really good about it.

Cottage cheese I may can handle post op but with the fruit. For some reason it's not good to me. I haven't eaten much broth because it's just nasty and makes me wanna hurl.
