optifast after surgery

[andreerichards1 4]

I was thinking about ordering some more and maybe drinking one or two a day after my surgery would that help me lose more weight? after your back to solid food. I was thinking about ordering some myoplex but Optifast is just as good.

For a time after surgery you're going to be on a total liquid diet, and Optifast is as good a Protein Shake as any. What are your doctor's instructions for postop eating?

Im going to ask him i was thinking for after when i will be on solid food.< /p>

I use to drink potein shakes at the gym all the time, so i cant see why it would be bad for me.

They wouldn't be bad for you, no. The general thinking, though, is that once you're on solid food you should get all your calories in that way--from solid food. Replacing a meal with a liquid if you don't have to could lead to your taking in more calories without realizing it.

Protein Shakes do have a place in many bandsters' lives, most often as Breakfast for those who have more restriction in the mornings. But it's really easy to drink too many calories, so it pays to be careful.
