@@Dulce_jtrivera that uploaded list sounds great. The nut I saw only gave regular suggestions of boost and premier Protein. Not a big variety at all.

@@tfowler a week seems so far but is so close. I think k I get more and more anxious every day. It's hard to concentrate on normal day to day tasks. Then I find myself wanting to eat food but knowing I shouldn't.

I found some interesting flavors at smoothie King of all places. Has anyone tried those?

[tfowler 31]

Thanks, @Dulce_jtrivera. I'll check those out, too. Seems like a much better source of Protein than the powder I have, which only has 16 grams per serving. Awesome!

I completely understand, @Boise.

@@Dulce_jtrivera what do you mix the prozein synthesis with, plain Water?

[Boise 15]

I never heard of them either. Are their flavors tasty? How many grams of Protein do they have in them?

I mix it with Water, but a girl that's in my support group uses almond milk or skim milk. That adds more Protein to it.

And I have never heard of the Smoothie King either... but I will try anything that will help me through the liquid phases!

The brand is spiro-tein, and comes in a ton of flavors. 14g of Protein, slightly on the low side so I mix them with skim milk and that adds 8g. They are very tasty and under 100cal. I won't be using these unless I am in need of a flavor change. I like Unjury chicken flavor too.

I'm scheduled for the 22nd too! (In PA) Only 1 week to go! Just bought my B-12 and some SF Popsicles today.

Btw...Unjury chicken Soup is great & has 21g's of protein! Has no funky taste or smell like most of the Protein products out there. I had a sample, but I just ordered some for the post op liquid phase. I'm so afraid of losing my hair & I think it might help to get some good protein in during the first couple weeks.

Best wishes to us all!!!

@@GingerSlim Thanks for the post and recommendations! Yep, this time next week, we'll be post-op (probably not feeling so great, but definitely on the other side).
