November post ops: Shawn, Marilyn, Kim, Sophia and anyone else I haven't mentioned

I currently drink the GNC Extreme Whey Protein (pro performance) or something like that. In a big black jar. Sells for $47.99. I get the 100% whey isolate kind. They also have it in an isolate and concentrate mix that isn't absorbed as much as 100% isolate. They advertise it as 60mg. of protein. However, that is three scoops. I only use 2 scoops. I tried a bunch of samples from vitalady.com in the first place. I didn't like most of them. I tried the sample packs of Profect. I thought you had to acquire a taste for them. Like really concentrated koolaid. But I decided I didn't really like them. And they are expensive. I haven't tried ISOPURE but I am going to next time I go into GNC. Hey, GOOD LUCK on your upcoming surgery!!!

Hi Cissy... I drank the Atkins and Isopure shakes right after surgery but these days I can't stand any protein shakes so I just rely on eating protein instead... The first week I really just ate (er... I mean drank) jello, broth, protein shakes, milk, yogurt and Campbell's Select soups (in the gold boxes). If I recall, it wasn't all that easy to eat, just didn't feel like it much. Much more important to get your vits and water in than anything else those first couple days (imho). Just be careful, like everyone says... your tastes DO change and it's probably not a good idea to stock up too much on any one thing. You're almost there!! Marilyn
