PEOPLE CALL YOUR DIETICIAN & ASK QUESTIONS!

That's what they're here for. OK I know everybody on here has different pre-op diets different caloric intake etc. I'm struggling just like everybody else but the shakes I use have fruits and vegetables in the powder as well as nutrients. If you don't know what you can put in your shakes you should! I'm allowed around 200 cal per shake I'm also allowed 15+ grams of Protein per shake which I go for the highest amount I can and that's 30 g & I'm allowed 15 g or less of carbs the powder I use does not have 15 g of carbs so I blend in fruit this is totally OK for my plan. If you're drinking a shake that has 30 g of protein & 1 g of carbs that's great but you're risking carb withdrawal which makes you feel sick and nauseous. I had to call because I could not even drive. If you're not sure if you can add fruit and I mean well blended fruit to your smoothies then call your Dietician! If you're going to suffer by not suffer less? I've had people on here tell me they can't have fruit. Hey I can't have fruit either but blended fruit which is pulverized to the point of being liquid is entirely different once again if you're not sure call your Dietician they are there for you & they know this stuff. I'm not trying to sound bossy but I see a lot of people on here complaining about how they feel and they're uncertain what they can and can't use/add to their shakes. If you want to feel as full as possible and have as little discomfort as possible then once again call your Dietician & ask what you can put in your shakes. i'm going to post a picture of what I use once again. This is all vegan protein but that doesn't mean others can't use it to get the nutrients that will make them feel better before surgery and after. If you have carbs available add blended fruit if it's OK with your nutritionist. I hope this helps people because I started out suffering and since I added all 15 carbs per shake I've been doing pretty well.
