First meal of the day

[NewBeginning2016 63]

So 8 oz of the milk, a packet of the carnation, a scoop of Protein powder, ice then blended in my Ninja. It's delicious! I am now on full liquids. Figured I'd be sipping on this for about an hour lol. Does this seem ok?

I would not have been allowed that Protein Shake because the calories and carbs are too high. My rules were: max 180 calories, max 15 grams carbs. But the rules that applied to me aren't necessarily relevant to you . . . did your surgeon or dietitian give you any rules or guidelines for Protein Shakes, or anything like that?

As part of my post op, I did Clear Liquids for two weeks. Now I'm on full liquids for two weeks. I'm not counting calories or Protein.

I'm allowed to have this carnation Breakfast, skim, fat free or 1%milk, sugar free/ low fat pudding, strained low fat Soups, no sugar added low fat yogurt, sugar free Popsicles, sugar free Jello. thinned grits, oatmeal and cream of rice and wheat, in addition to the broth and other stuff from the clear liquid diet.

I am allowed to add Protein Powder to my milk and I know it's ok to add it to yogurt.

I don't necessarily call it a Protein shake tho lol. It's just adding a scoop of Protein Powder to get in more Protein.

So I don't feel like I'm not in compliance. Just happened to add it to this carnation meal of that makes sense lol.

I sip Water all day and can eat some Soup, sugar free Jello and sugar free Popsicles the rest of the day. Trying to get in more protein where I can add it and have it be bearable to eat too.
