Are Protein shakes allowed pre op?

Hi, I have my second op mid July and just had my pre op appointment with the nurse who asked me if I was taking any vitamin supplements which I’m not, but I was about to start on meal replacement protein shakes to lose some weight before the op.

Does anyone know if these are allowed?

Thank you 🙂

I was told to stop all supplements 3 weeks prior to surgery x

You’ll be fine have protein shakes, I go to the gym and are still having mine my op is next week. Tbh I wouldn’t be replacing meals with protein shakes that’s not good for you at all. They say to eat high carb meals to help with recovery, obviously not bad carbs xx

Thank you Ladies 🙂
I’ll probably leave that for now then to play safe and just make sure I eat healthy and stay off the sugary stuff.

Ship – good luck with your op next week x
