Protein Shakes

Hello UK sleevers... In need of some advice and hope you can help.....

My surgery date is 4th October and pre op diet starts Thursday 20th Sept. On reading the threads in main pre and post op forum the majority of American sleevers speak of different Protein powders they have but all I can find here is stuff marketed for body builders. From your experience can anyone recommend high quality Protein powder which is palatable and I can buy in UK? Thanks x

    Hiya

    I was sleeved on the 4th October- 2 wks tmz!

    I've lost 17.5lbs since pre op and 26.5lbs down from heaviest weight!

    Feeling good about that. Only problem is exhaustion- it's hard to get in enough Protein and struggling with low carb intake.

    Just want to fast forward this bit and get on to eating food again- liquid phase is pants.
