I am having surgery on March 30th can anyone please tell me what’s the best protein powder to get please

I would say do not over-invest! I bought every protein powder known to man and recommended on here. You should try and get samples to figure out what you like...not just buy them all willy-nilly! (Like me!). My favorite, though, is Genepro which is pretty much flavorless and can be mised with almost anything (refried beans, SF jello, any recipe) to boost protein. I also use Premier Protein or Fairlife Vanilla pre-mixed in my coffee each morning.

Good luck!!

you're bound to get 100 different answers here because people's tastes are so different. I'd buy a few sample packs and see what you like - better that than spending $30 or more on a big tub of something that you end up hating.

my favorites were Syntrax and Unjury products. I drink Fit Frappe and Quest sometimes now, but those two aren't the best choices for new pre-ops because they're not made from whey protein isolate (Syntrax and Unjury ARE made from whey protein isolate - as are a few other brands). The other two I mentioned - and several others out there - are protein blends or protein concentrates (and sometimes something else). Those are fine once you're getting most/all of your protein requirements met through food, but early out, whey protein isolate is usually your best option since we absorb that form of protein pretty easily.
