Topic: RE: Does a protein drink count towards liquid requirement?

Yup! All liquid is liquid.

And you should be getting a MINIMUM of 64 ounces, not 48.

Hi so from the information folder that i have gotten from my doctor my two week pre-op liquid diet is anything you can drink from a cup including smooth soup. And yes if you are using protein powder the 8oz 1% milk that you use counts as 8oz of liquid. You can also drink Gatorade G2 its low in sugar and low in carbs.

I am having trouble drinking 48oz of liquid per day. Is it only clear liquids that count or any liquid?

Topic: RE: Homemade broth VS Store bought.

I tried making my own ahead of time. I am a decent cook, but I found that buying low sodium soup in a can and draining off the solids worked best for me. I know that's kind of lazy but for a working gal trying to get all your liquids in and getting a decent flavor, this is what worked best for me. Just an option.

Topic: RE: Best Tasting Protein Powder to Drink

Easily for me its Premier Protein chocolate shakes. I buy them at Sams. I keep my fridge full so they are nice and cold. As soon as I get done with the gym, I drink one every morning with a banana.

I have tried other flavors, and I just cant. So, I stick with what works.

Topic: Best Tasting Protein Powder to Drink

Struggling to get my protein in. MD said to add a protein drink. I don't know what is the best tasting and I won't be able to drink it if it smells or tastes bad -- yes, I am that picky.

Any suggestions would be really helpful.

Topic: RE: Keto Diet

If you're on Facebook you may want to search for a Weight-loss Surgery and Keto Group. You have to adjust the Keto for the surgery you've had. It's still protein in first, then low carb vegetables, and last fats. The percents are not the same due to how our bodies have been changed.

I've been on Keto, had some breaks doing this time, for just over a year and I'm less than 10 pounds for my wish weight. I hit my 3 year goal weight at 18 months, thanks to Keto.
