I use unjury unflavored protein powder--- no taste, I add it to my cystal lite, it does change the color, to a cloudy look, but that all. You can also use it in warm foods and soups also www.unjury.com Karen D

I use Pro Lab Whey Protien, vanilla flavoured. I mix it with crystal lite in the blender and its a really nice drink. I think the fatigue is normal, I have been taking afternoon catnaps since I got home. Unless your Dr. is concerned I would say its all part of the healing process. Patty

Hi Cheryl, I agree unjury is the only thing I can get down. I love the chocolate, and the vanilla ispretty good as well. I have tried the Isopure, and I can get it down with some success but ut takes me all day. It is a large bottle with 40 grams of protein in it. Comes in variou*****h flavors like grape, fruit punch, melon, etc... I am almost 3 weeks out and I was having EXTREME fatigue...dragging and lathargic...went to my Doctor (not surgeon) he said he did not want to wait on the B12 shots and I got one last week. I have to tell you I feel like a new person! I will be getting them every two weeks until I can get myself together and then once a month. You may check nto this with your Dr.. I hope it gets better for you! Denise

The nectar stuff is good, but I'm sick of it... I LOVE the pre-made ISOPURE stuff. It's like drinking juice. The grape is the best so far. The tasteless stuff is pretty awesome too, especially if you mix with something you like to drink/eat. The key's just trying a bunch until you find what works best for you! Dawn
