I will be drinking two protien shakes and eating a lean cuisine. Any suggestions? That is the same plan that I was on before my surgery, and I did fine on it. I did have to look for protein shakes other than slimfast, as I couldn't stand that but about 3 days. I decided on EAS chocolate protein powder. which was delicious. I even put the powder in coffee.. it made great mocha. Good luck on the beginning of your journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bandgroupie Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Hi Caroline, Good luck on preop! I did 2 slim fast optima creamy chocolate shakes and 1 lean cuisine. The shakes were great if you put them in the freezer about 30-45 minutes before you drank them. If I went out to lunch I ordered a side salad (lettuce, tomatoes, green peppers and mushrooms only) and then had my lean cuisine for dinner. I used salsa for dressing if I was desperate and otherwise, didn't use anything. I learned to like the shakes and the lean cuisines..... I never realized how I would DREAM of having a meatloaf and mashed potato lean cuisine... but I did. I also drank Special K protien water (pink lemonade) all day long. Good stuff.
