I am about to purchase my post-op supplies and want to know what protein shakes or protein powders you all recommend? The nutritionist recommends a shake that is 20 gms of protein per serving with less than 5 gms of sugar per serving.

Thanks!

sorry, so many people I know have one, I didn't think about it. It's a great mini blender - was originally an infomercial but now you can get them just about anywhere they sell small household appliances - target, bed bath

& beyond, etc. ebay has them as well. It takes up little room, is high powered - really perfect for anyone but especially for us!

Be sure that you can handle the protein shakes and mixes before your surgery. I found out after surgery that my body couldn't take the protein when I was having explosive and uncontrollable D (you can fill that in yourself!). Since everyone complains about "liquid in, liquid out," I thought at first it was just how it would be during the liquid stage. My healilng would have been simple had I known this in advance.

Good Luck

LINDTATU, The Magic Bullit is a blender

boy do I feel silly. I know what you mean now. I was thinking you might be talking about the New Whey liquid protein which I think some people call a bullet. I love this site and all the information I get.

Add a teaspoon of peter pan honey roasted peanut butter to your vanilla and chocolate shakes.
