Why can't we have opti fast post-op?

Dawn, I make it with milk so it is 27 g of protein. And it is the only thing that works for me. I have specific food aversions so I have had to come up with a plan that works for me and this works. I guess it isn't the ideal but I am feeling good, losing weight and blood work is in line.

Thanks everyone! Makes perfect sense. I have added more Greek yoghurt to my day. I am heading back to work part time next week and full time the following week - so was thinking it would be handy to do a shake. I have tried the premier protein ones and I start gagging as I take a sip. I will just start using more foods.

Annette, I appreciate the info. But like I said I have some pretty specific food aversions. In addition, I don't drink the shakeology for the protein. I get plenty of protein without it. I drink it because I can tolerate it, and I like it. Right now it isn't interfering with my weight loss of program at all. If/when it does, obviously I would make a change. I can't stomach 95% of the protein shakes out there so I have to stick to what I can digest.
But, this is why I recommend everyone talk to their nutritionist before using something you aren't sure of. What works for me, may not work for someone else. Trust me I wish I could drink other shakes (shakeology is expensive). I don't eat breakfast and need something besides my coffee in the am!!!!!
