Can I have milk on pre-op diet?

[jlw1324 18]

Jut a quick question. I start my Pre-op diet tomorrow (YAY!!!) and I was wondering if I can mix my Protein Powder with skim milk or if it has to be Water? ? Thanks for your help!!

You can use milk...some ppl also use almond milk. I use 1% my NUT said that was fine...

Ps..Congrats

It depends on what your doctor has said. My doctor said that I can have skim or 1% milk on my full liquid diet. Check with your dietitian to make sure.

even skim milk has a lot of sugar. i used it in my first week for my shakes but by my second week of pre-op diet i went to just Water to maximize weight loss.

check with your surgeon!

I could use non-fat milk with my Protein powder up till 12 hours prior to surgery.

For my diet, three times a day I drink one Meal Replacement shake (must be at least 15g of Protein but no more than 7g of sugar) plus one 8 oz glass of skim milk with a cup of broth or yogurt for snack.< /p>
