Just had VSG-Do you add water or milk to your protein drink
Had VSG Monday April 10th and everything went smooth, I could not ask for a better situation, so pleased with everything so far! No heartburn or nausea! Pain from the largest incision is pretty bad, air from chest is much better, Hydrocodone helps. My question is: For your protein drinks do you use water, milk, 2% or skim or Almond Milk. I am so grateful for what I have learned from you on this forum!
Unsweetened almond milk - original flavor.

If the store is out of original, I'll get vanilla flavor, but I detest the chocolate flavor.

Me too! The unsweetened cashew is creamier and only 25 calories per 8 oz.
If cannot find it, I buy the unsweetened regular or vanilla almond milk that is 30 calories per 8 oz. I also dilute it with water!

That's interesting! I didn't like the cashew milk when I tried it since it was too creamy. It never even crossed my mind to dilute it...
Thanks!
