Hi Welcome.. WOW!! your process has only taken a month... Protein really is to each individual person.. Pre-Op i went and ordered a bunch of stuff and post op I couldn't stand it.. My suggestion is if you want to see what an RTD (ready to Drink) protein tastes like versus a powdered protein you mix yourself then buy individual servings.. not too many your tastes may change after surgery.. I am still looking for a protein that I can tolerate 2 months out.. Best of Luck to you

any protein drinks you can suggest. my insurance approved it in a week. I also started backwards I met the dr first filled out the initial packet and had it ready when I went to the seminar. I also was able to prI've 6 months of documented efforts to lose weight. I got lucky since I did.not even know I nreseda it. I guess all the stars were aligned :)

I like the premier protein shakes from Costco. They make vanilla and chocolate. I also like the strawberry sorbet unjury protein. I drink the muscletech protein shots because they have 42 grams of protein, but they taste horrible. I only drink them when I need to get a lot of protein in.

Hope you find one that you like!

aviiva, if you search this site, you'll find answers to all of your questions. There is even a pinned thread about what to take to the hospital and (I believe) another about what to purchase for when you come home. I'm amazed at how quickly you got approval! We're keeping a spot on the loser's bench warm for you! :)

I love the chocolate flavored Premier Protein Shakes from Costco. For post surgery pureed foods I like the stuff at Blossom Foods. You can look both of these things up online. Don't worry about surgery. We all freak out and get nervous. It is natural. Just do what the doctor says and you will be fine. Check out my blog if you want to read more about the pre- and post op journey.
