I have been experimenting with protein drinks to see what I like. I am pre-op, but the nutritionist suggested we do this to get a taste for this stuff I am right now drinking a Vanilla Cream Extreme Smoothie . It is DELICIOUS 35 grams of protein and 5 carbs. I wonder if this would be okay to drink the first few weeks pre-op. 4g of sugar carbs.... WOuld that make you dump?

my rule of thumb was anything under 12 grams ...i dont know were this number came from but i sware i heard it from someone ......But i think as long as you are under 10 you should be ok ....But that is just what i go by and i am not sure if a doc told me this or not ...but that is just some food for thought Laura

Thanks Laura If my taste buds do not change too much, I will not mind getting my protein in with this stuff
