Question:
My Doctor requires his patients to drink a liquid protein drink pre-opt.

He sells some and then we can buy Carnation Instant Breakfast(SF). I do not like milk at all. We can have just liquids. I have to start this 2 weeks prior to surgery. That is in about 2 days. I am worried about that. Anybody else had to do this. HELP!!!!!    — Margy G. (posted on May 14, 2000)

I ate anything I wanted right up to surgery day.

There are MANY proteins out there that mix well with water or sugar free juices. Milk has so much sugar in it that you're not missing anything! Many proteins today are smooth and tasty and can just shake up in 4 oz of water. Or more, if you prefer. There are juice-type proteins in bottles, as well as a powdered protein that tastes and smells like Crystal Light. There are lots of tasty ways to get a big wad of protein with onoly a speck of the suagrs and fats we fear.
