AmMatthew 35 Posted March 5, 2011 You won't probably want it....way too sweet. (But in case you do, no....it's pure carbs, and sugars at that...not protein). You'll want a pure Protein powder post-op. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
avilda 2 Posted March 5, 2011 Low Carb slim fast was an option given to me by my surgeon. I found it at Sam's Club. Although... it doesn't have as much Protein as many Protein Drinks available on the market. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rootman 1,101 Posted March 5, 2011 YES it's allowed. It is a fairly good product but contains quite a lot of sugar and as Ami points out, almost sickeningly sweet. Most of these pre-packaged diet shakes have to much sugar or not enough Protein. They do save you time by being premade and packaged. They are also quite large too and I had trouble finishing a whole one early on aftewr surgery. I personally use Boost brand. They are a bit smaller and contain a lot less sugars and a bit more Protein per ounce than SlimFast. There are also generic versions like from Walmart or Sams which taste really, realy nasty.
