Hey guys! I'm so excited I'm having my surgery on 8/14 and I'm trying to find the best protein powders out there while being on a budget. Suggestions?

I would try a few different ones. Lots of places online have sample packs. Your taste buds will change after surgery, so don't buy a ton.

I am not fond of most powders. I buy mostly GNC Lean Shakes that are premade. It's expensive, but I am not eating fast food or much at all so I splurge.

Be careful going cheap on your Protein. Trust me the cheaper you to the more you pay for it with the grade of taste. I've found that a few companies on line will actually work with your PPO Insurance and bill them for your monthly protein and Vitamins. Shop around and ask ask ask...

Are you able to eat the chocolate? And how many do you have per day? I love them but there is only 25g of protein!
