Two Week Post Surgery Diet

[helleva 22]

Hi. Quick question. I am on a liquid diet for two weeks. I am only allowed Water, popsicles, broth, & Protein Drinks. Question is do I have to make my Protein shakes with only water?? Can I add half water/half skim milk?? Can I add some yogurt? powder Peanut Butter? Or banana? ?

Thanks

You would have to confirm that with your dr. I used Atkins shakes. They tasted good. They kept me full. And there are several flavors. But as far as I know, skim milk would be ok. But not the yogurt, PB, or banana. Good luck.

I used skim milk, which gave an extra 9 grams of protein...I first used half Water and 1/2 skim, just to be sure It agreed with me, then the second one, I used 8 oz skim( i use the Unjury Protein shakes) Good luck!

You may be able to use soy milk or almond or coconut milk to add some pizazz!

I actually found Premium Protein Shakes. 30g Protein with only 1 gram of sugar. And even better they taste great.

My doctor told me either Water or skim milk. the milk will give you more Protein. I wouldn't try the banana just yet, ask your doctor first.
