Sadly, after all the excitement and anticipation, I think Im going to postpone my surgery from (6/16) to July. I've been so busy fulfilling requirements and preparing to have the surgery that I havent done much to stock anything for after the surgery. I know I wont feel up to running to the store everyday and not even close. I also just dont feel financially prepared just yet, all of these Protein drinks and Vitamins are going to take a pretty penny out of my pay!!
Ive been cruzing around amazon, on these forums and other sites to see which protein supplement I wanted to use as well as chewable vits. Right now Im using Premier and Lean Body which has 40 grams of protein. While Im satisfied with those I heard that Isopure was pretty good too AND the powders deliver 50g of protein per serving!!! thats insane and really I thought our bodies can only process up to 25g of protein in one meal and the rest gets expelled...is that true? if so then why does these supplements contain so much?
Whats on your shopping list for AFTER surgery? Where are you finding the best prices for your items? I hear creamed Soups are good, any specific brand? Ill be on straight liquids for the first 2 weeks, then puree then soft.
