Not enough CARBS! Need 15 grams

[Seahawks Fan 771]

Before I added fruit for my Protein Shakes I was feeling nauseous and my thoughts were cloudy I couldn't even drive. I called my Dietician who said I was going through carb withdrawal. He encouraged me to add carbs to my shakes so that I hit 15 grams. Although he did say make sure I do not go over 15 g he said to utilize the entire 15 g to avoid withdrawl. I posted how I make my Protein shakes and I had people sayingthat they can't add fruit. Recheck with you Dietician I was told to add fruit well blended into a smoothie as long as I didn't go over 15 g of carbs. As long as you stay within your guidelines there's no reason you shouldn't be able to add carbs to your shakes of course you can't have whole fruit but well blended fruits are carbs and it's pretty much pulverized into liquid by the blender. Premier Protein shakes only have 1 g of carbs. Thats definitely enough to put anybody in a carb withdrawl & make you miserable. At the same time the more protein the better to keep you full longer. My plan calls for 200 cal which I asked and was told I could go a little bit over and buy a little bit I don't mean 100 cal over so around 200 cal 15 or more grams of protein 30 plus is great! And up to 15 g of carbs hitting exactly 15 is the best way to feel good and not have carb withdrawl. If you feel uncertain about adding fruit then call your Dietician and ask them! Thats what they're there for. My surgery is May 30th and this is considered the liquid phase of the pre-op diet. The day before surgery I can only have Water but up until then I was told it was fine to add blended fruit make make 15 grams of carbs total per shake. Best of luck to everyone hope this works out for you. I wouldn't deviate personally & risk being rescheduled because I definitely don't want to do this twice!
