Protein Drinks...Meal Replacement or Liquid?



Recommended Posts

How do yall count a Protein drink...is it considered a meal replacment, where it counts as Breakfast or lunch? Or is it considered part of the liquid requirement for the day.

Right now I'm having one as Breakfast. And, I'm having a hard time getting in all of my Protein right now.

Since getting on solids I am not supposed to use shakes as a Meal Replacement but rather a supplement. I am to have three solid Protein meals a day and if I do not reach my protein grams with my solid meals then supplement with shakes or Protein Shots.< /p>

Which stage are you in - liquid diet, pureed, or solids? I have just finished the prerequisite classes and we were told that you count it as Protein and also as part of your liquid for the day. Hope this helps! Mary:smile2:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
