? about liquids?

I was wondering during the liquid phase after my surgery am I allowed Diet V8 Splash? I got a protein powder that has 100 calories and 18 g of protein from a health food store. (Designer Whey) is this ok? I just want to make sure I don't drink the wrong thing. Any suggestions feel free to share. Thanks and Have a Great Week! Please trhow up a prayer for me Wednesday 4-28-10 for me!

Stacy, we just talked about this at wls group last Thursday. the dietician there said that V8 of plain tomato juice was ok, too many carbs in the V8 with the fruit in it. Check with your dietician in the morning. Keeping you in my thoughts for this week. Lots of hugs

I'm not sure if this would apply to you because I have the sleeve guidelines, but it is also a strict liquid diet.  "Protein shakes must be high protein 18-25 grams/serving AND low sugar, less than 6 grams per serving." 

I think if it meets the sugar requirement you should be okay.  

God bless you and grant you a safe surgery and a speedy recovery. 

for my protein shake requirements, yours fit withing the guidelines that I was given just fine. I couldn't have the V8 Fruit Splash, but I could have low sodium V8 juice during my liquids phase (and these are lapband guidelines but they are similar to other types too).

There ya have it... So just check the Carb and sugar content on the protein if it is 6 grams or less you are good to go on that. Best of luck in the liquid phase!
