Question about milk and pre-op liquid diet

Aloha my OH family,

I am to start my liquid diet next week and wanted to know if using skim or 1% milk to the protein powder is okay.  Also if that works for post-op as well.  I really like them much better with milk rather than water.

Any comments/suggestions/concerns are greatly appreciated.

Each doc has a different set of rules for liquid diet. My doc has no problem with skim milk. I think the protein powders are more palatable with milk!

For my plan, full liquids were fine, so I used skim milk. I still use it (post op) to get a few extra grams of protein in my drinks.

 

Agree with Jenijeni. If it is ok with your doc I use skim milk with my protein powder. Makes a delicious shake with 54 grams protein.
