I'm just curious if the Dr's recommend a certain or special kind of protein powder after surgery. Right now I do a smoothie almost daily for breakfast with Optimum Nutrition Powder. However, 1 scoop plus 8oz of milk is 200 calories. Two of these a day would pretty much put me at my calories for the day early on, which I'm guessing would be fine since I would get most of my protein in .

I've seen that milk, and need to give it a try. Looks pricey, but I figure my overall grocery bill will still be cheaper due to the shear decrease in food. Plus I would rather pay the extra for something healthy. How is the taste?

Taste doesn’t bother me. Doesn’t bother my husband either and he is very picky about his milk ?

My surgeon's office says not to look at calories just protein and fluids.
I use premier protein shakes 2 a day.30 gram of protein in each shake and 160 calories.

I don't even bother with milk I'm fine with 25-27g protein per drink and use water always have. Calories are still important also.
