Can i drink this post surgery?

I'm on full liquids but can i drink Slim Fast Optima? It has 17 grams of sugar and 10 grams of sugar. I didnt realize that Bariatric Advantage was in my binder but i thought i could drink the Slim Fast. Is 17 grams of sugar too high? Will it cause me to have dumping syndrome?

I think the 17 is too High.  Sloane tells us only have stuff with single digit sugars.

Venita -

IMHO, it IS too high in sugar.  You really don't want to pu**** and dump this early out - you'll feel extra miserable.

If I remember correctly, Sloane told me initially post-op, to try to stay under 5 g of sugars.  Keep in mind, too, that some people can't tolerate sugar alcohols well, either.  And most sugar free stuff that's not made with Splenda has some sort of sugar alcohol content.

HTH,

Venita, 

I really would stay away from that.  You can get really sick dumping syndrome is horrible. I was told by the nutritionist to only take less than 6 grams of sugar per meal.

I was told to drink the Silm fast on my liquid diet before surgery, but was told not to after surgery because of the sugar.  That's too bad, because it is something that I actually liked to drink.

can you drink the slim fast low carb?

Thanks everybody, i got the EAS shake has 17 grams of protein and no sugar. It's in the Binder.

That sounds good,  I"m so glad you found one that works.  I hope you like it
