Question:
Has anyone post op used PROTI 15 fruit flavored drinks?

I have never been able to drink any other protein drink but these without gagging on them. I was wondering if these would be sufficient after surgery and if they might cause dumping? The contents on the back read like this Calories 70 /Fat .5g/ Sat Fat .5/CHolesterol 10 mg/ Sodium 40mg/ Potassium 70mg/ Total Carb. 3g/Dietary FIber 0g/SUgars 0 g/Protein 15 g. I believe I read somewhere that these drinks are only available from Bariatric Treatments Centers and are also used by LA Weightloss as a supplement. If anyone has used these or has any information on them I would really appreciate it.    — S C. (posted on February 12, 2003)

I got PROTI 15 drinks from a weight loss program that I was on prior to surgery. I am only two weeks out and I am drinking them with no problems. However, you are supposed to mix the fruit ones with diet 7-up or sprite. We arent supposed to have caffeine or carbonation. I think that they would be ok as long as you let the pop go flat. I like the hot chocolate mix, it has almost the same nutritional content as the fruit drink. I hope that this helps. Molly
