Actually yesterday I did it because of time. I do not use that as a REGULAR

diet by anymeans. I keep a can in the house. I use it alot when I have

binged and need something to snap me back to reality. LOL It is amazing

what games play with you.

We recommend other protein sources such as

Isopure (40 grams protein, 0 g sugar) and Profect (25 g protein, 0 g sugar) to

name a few. However, they are more expensive so some patients do use the

low-carb Slimfast or Carnation Instant Breakfast (Carb Conscious). We recommend

at least 20 grams of protein and less than 9 grams of sugar. We recommend

low-fat but I don’t think we have put a number to that recommendation

yet.

I have many pts ask about using Slimfast for their

protein

supplements. Does anyone recommended Slimfast " for the Low-carb diet "

(20g Pro, 9g Fat, 1g Sugar, 190 Cal) or the Slimfast " Optima " High

Protein (15g Pro, 5g Fat, 13g Sugar, 190 Cal) for protein

supplements? Would the " low carb diet " Slimfast be too high in fat

(9g/can) and/or the " Optima-High Pro " too high in sugar with 13g per

serving? Thanks for any input.

Also, what is the recommended intake of fat grams per day intially

after surgery? Our program limits fat intake with " no added fats "

until back on regular foods at 3-4 months post-op. Is this what other

programs are doing as well? Thanks in advance!

Do your pts have any trouble tolerating the 9grams fat in low carb slim fast? Another issue would be in terms of wt loss.

Thanks
