Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 I'm wondering what products are being recommended for programs doing pre-op liquid diets to "shrink liver" We have been giving pts choice of carnation instant breakfast for the carb conscious or medifast From what I've seen the literature regarding pre-op liquid diets and it seems to have been done w/ optifast The NP in one of our affiliated programs asked me today if pt's could use designer whey protein instead of carnation as it is lower in CHO and kcals? I was under the impression that certain supplements should not be used as sole source of nutrition. Any ideas? Thanks so much. Marcus, R.D., C.D.N.
