. Can it be any type of liquid protein? I'm still trying to finish my gym protein bucket (cookie &cream) will it do it's got 25g of protein per scoop?

Every doctor's guidelines may be different but the one I was given was at least 15g Protein and less than 5g of sugar per serving.

For my plan, it depends on how many calories and carbs it has as well as the amount of protein.

mines has 5g of fibe 27gram protein per packet and 200 calories

Every Surgeon and NUT will have their own recommendations, but I would definitely do some research as not all Protein powders are created equal. A lot of the *good* brands that truly believe in their products will offer sample sizes either for free or a small fee. This will give you the opportunity to find what you like without having to buy a 2lb tub of each.

There are some Proteins that are much *cleaner* than others out there so pay attention to ingredient lists. Less is always better. My big things (recommended from my NUT) are to keep the carbs/sugars under ~5g per serving and the protein at or over ~20g per serving.

I've tried several brand but have settled on a couple different brands, depending on the delivery method I'm using. Quest is what I use for flavored and non-flavored powder. The flavors are very good IMM, the powder is very fine so the shakes are not "gritty", and the unflavored is wonderful for cooking. For liquid proteins, I buy About TIme Pro Hydrate. About TIme drinks have over 20g per bottle (20oz).

A good resource is a site called labdoor. They independently test all kinds of supplements for purity, label accuracy, heavy metals, ingredient safety and efficacy. It's really help me choose better supplements including protein powders.

Just go to https://labdoor.com and click on view rankings, then check out what you're interested in reviewing. What I do when I find something that I *think* is good is then take that question to my NUT and get confirmation on the product from a professional. It's been a really great resource for me.

Best of luck!
