Pre Op

[ANewMe428 125]

Has anyone started their pre op liquid diets? I start April 15th. Looking for good tasting Protein Shakes with low carbs. The ones I've recently tried had around 23-29 carbs. Is that actually BAD or GOOD?

i used (and still drink one each morning) whey extreme Protein (in chocolate) from Walmart. 28 grams protein per scoop.....its delish and only 14.95 per container..my dr approved it..it helps to find one you really like. i tried them all and some were just nasty. congrats on your surgery BTW.

smoothie king Gladiator Protein Powder is no day no carbs, doesn't taste as good as muscle milk but of course it doesn't, cuz muscle milk contains fat and sugar. Zero carb Isopure is great too, although extremely expensive and chalky tasting. You won't mind the taste of chocolate gladiator stirred with a glass of Water or blended with some berries

Btw- 23-29 grams carbs isn't that bad, so as long as you're not adding milk or fruit to it- so finish what you've got of that powder and then switch to smoothie king gladiator. You'll be glad you did! The lower the carbs, the more weight you'll lose

Thnx Charlesoakes68 im definitely gonna grab some gladiator this wknd. Thnx for the info on the carbs, no i didn't add anything to it, just drank it straight. I will try a few flavors, i do like chocolate shakes the most. LOL

This is great...shopping forprotein shakes in not something I'm used to. I have a ton of them left over from nutrisystem...I showed them to the nut and she said to go for it. so I'm going to use those up but I also bought some from costco that my nut asked me to buy. The day I went there they were taste testing them and I loved them. Premade in case I sleep in or something. Good luck all...

I used the same pre-op! And will continue to use now that I'm post-op! You can add a tablespoon of Peanut Butter and almond milk for extra protein and its delicious!!! Though I haven't picked any up yet there is a peanut powder PB2 that people rave about bc it's got all the protein/taste of Peanut Butter without fat and less calories!
