It can be tricky. Things you liked pre-op might taste weird or not sit well post-op. You might have to take a trip to somewhere like GNC or VitaminShoppe and get some sample packets and just try a bunch of brands and flavors. Just make sure that anything you get is low carb and low in saturated fat.

GNC unflavored works well.....in everything I've tried it with. Heck, it even did okay in Crystal Light, lol.

I use GENEPRO its unflavored medical grade Protein 30grm per scoop. Mix it into whatever beverage you like. It also blends well with hot liquids, I put it in my broth. You can get it on Amazon.< /p>

I would be a little cautious when choosing GENEPRO. They claim that a serving is the "equivalent of" 30 grams of Protein, because you are supposed to absorb their protein better than regular whey isolate. However, there have been no independent studies proving their claim yet. So, I would err on the side of caution and still only count it as 15 grams of protein towards my daily protein target. Better to end up getting more protein than you might need than finding out you've only been getting half as much as you thought.

In my early days post-op, unflavored Protein powder was a lifesaver for me. I'm not sure where you are in your food stages, but you can mix it with broth, cream of chicken Soup, or yogurt, among other things.

I tried three different Protein shakes, and my stomach isn't agreeing with any of them. I'm not getting enough Protein for the day. So now I'm trying the unflavored Protein powder, sure hope it works.

May sound silly but I've only like them after I refrigerate them for a few hours...usually overnight. Makes a big difference. I've also only liked the chocolate and strawberry. Good luck.

Premier Protein is way to sweet for me. I also use GENEPRO and there has been much debate about the 30 grams. I'm sure by now if it weren't correct there would be consumer complaints to verify and adjust the claim. Do the research as I've seen the 15 gram claim before and don't think that is accurate. I like it cause I can mix it in everything even if just add 1/2 scoop to things like yogurt that already has 15 grams of Protein to get to 30.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
