    Dr. Mathew Weiner does a very good video about this and explains it very well.

    The unflavored Protein was my life saver post-op. I used the Unjury, although I understand the Isopure at GNC is also good. I mixed it with Jello, Crystal Light, broth and pureed Soup. I get tired of the sweetness and aftertaste in the shakes. I also ate (still eat) a lot of Plain Greek Yogurt that I add stevia and vanilla extract. You can also use the Mio or any of the squirt Water enhancers to flavor the yogurt. One cup is 21 grams of protein. I was amazed how much my taste buds changed after surgery and what went down easily pre-op just didn't have the same appeal post-op. The Unjury chicken soup (broth like) was also great. With the variety of tastes I'm able to get my 60 grams of protein in per day.

    You might like the unjury chicken Protein powder.
    Pre-op, I liked chocolate Protein powder but post-op, I preferred vanilla. I mixed it with Starbucks Decaf instant coffee, and half Water, half soy milk.
    Many people like Isopure. I didn't, but you should try it. It's clear and comes in many fruit flavors.
    It's very important to find a protein you will drink. Protein is key for post-op healing,.

    Yes, you can put flavorless Protein powder in your drinks. My friend does that in her coffee when she wants a treat and she will be getting SOMETHING good out of it. heh. (don't drink coffee yet unless your surgeon clears you)
    You could also try different flavors of Protein shakes. Each consistency is different and you can get free samples or buy individual servings at a time so you don't waste your money buying in bulk.
    When you get about 2 weeks out and/or your surgeon clears you for thicker liquids you can try smoothies with almond milk unsweetened. You can also have yogurt. Some have higher Protein without the extra cals/carbs/etc.
    tip: recently I got crystal lite lemonade and I crushed ice in my magic bullet (or any blender, etc) then poured crystal lite in it. I added a strawberry (which you can't do yet) but it's such a treat even without the berry. It's like a slushee or a snow cone. It's yummy. :3

    I have yet to be sleeved but I love pure Protein from Walmart. I get the bottle or can. A friend who was sleeved uses the powder and she loves it. She uses fruit in it with soy milk.
