I also drank Slim Fast Low Carb Shakes. You can purchase them at the store. Here is a link to see the picture of the packaging. I used to divide one up through out the day, now I can put a straw in it and drink half and then later the other half.

Can these be used in Phase 1, and is it high protein?

[QUOTE=LIQUID OPTION: TACO SOUP - my new favorite!
I was so tired of having broth - my daughters were eating tacos - Mexican - love, love, love!!

Liquid Taco Soup 5 minutes on the stove
1 can broth
1 can tomato sauce
taco seasoning to taste[/QUOTE]

I tried this and it was delicious, but it made my sugar go sky high, so I can't eat it anymore...

I'm 10 days post op and i've been struggling to get all my protein (dr said between 60 and 80 grams / day) and my liquid/water intake as well, i just keep getting too full. I've been drinking the Isopure Zero Carb Protein drinks as they have 40 grams of protein and they also satisfy the water intake needed as well. (I'm sure the fluorescent colouring is not the healthiest but i'll worry about that another time!).

GNC stocks them and i'd suggest trying each one before buying too many as i bought the multipack case and really only like 2 of the flavours.

I like the blue raspbery and the applemelon.

[rickelleplus3]

I see you added Cottage Cheese and yogurt, is that considered liquid? I won't get stuck or anything?

[hunnybunny]

Im getting ready to start my preop, are these good for preop or wait till postop?

[Julez]

I'm 10 days post-op and getting really bored with this liquid diet, the range on protein powders here is not as good as in the US by the sounds of it and I'm sooooo bored and tired of the same soups.

[lisa2job]

tomorrow I am going shopping I need some great ideas for somethng new , i was on a liquid pre op diet for 2 weeks, now I just got sleeved last thursday i really want something else , I drank some chicken soup straining out everything and it was super yummy. would you htink it be ok if I make my own soup, like roasted apsaragus as long as I blend the asparagus up ? or do a roasted red pepper soup with the same idea?

GNC also carries a flavorless whey protein called Isopure. Once scoop has 26g of protein and it can be added to anything. If you add it to your soup I find it works better if you use a shaker cup and mix the protein with the milk first then add them both to your cream soup and cook it on the stove. When you do it in the microwave it gets chunky...

[MBOUT24]

what flavors do you like? I tried the fruit punch and I found it left a funny feeling film in my mouth. I switched to the flavorless powder that they have and I found that to be better. However it's only 26g per scoop.

[jerzeygirl]

I never saw Isopure that came in flavorless. I totally disliked Isopure, and I also found it to have a film that was left in my mouth. I would smell it even when I wasn't drinking it.
