I haven't had surgery yet either. I, as well, got the unjury chicken broth. I figure 30% sodium isn't sooo bad when the "sweeter" proteins will hardly contain ANY. I wanted one salty "normal" tasting food to offset the sweet. I tried one and it was really good. Did not have that protein taste at all! I also got the isopure 50g protein packets not the greatest taste, but figure if i sip on it throughout the day, with my water, etc., then thats 70g protein in 2 products. Also got unjury's non flavored to put into homemade liquid/full liquids. Anyway, that's my uninformed, unsurgical opinion!
