I was recently talking to someone and they told me that I shouldnt be drinking ready made protein drinks this early out (one week). Is this correct?? Im currently drinking premier protein in the little cartons. Should I be using powder instead?

Not sure about your center but Ottawa specifically recommends premier proteinrapared shakes as an acceptable source of protein for week 1 - full fluids.

The person who told you that was likely referring to many other pre-made drinks that are higher in carbs and fats. Premier protein shakes are ideal and you can absolutely have them. They're the only protein I could drink. Always look at the specific nutrition info of what you're eating/drinking - does it match up to what your needs are? Then it's a good choice.

From what I have read on this board Guelph Bariatric Clinic does not approve of ready made protein shakes. Most other centres want you to drink them especially early out of the hospital. But some centres want you to get protein naturally from foods. Check with your own centre's rules and follow their plan.
