I too am having surgery in Parker this Tuesday 10-16 @ Parker Adventist Hospital. Is that where you're doing yours? I'm really happy about this hospital, it's really nice & having a private room is awesome! I'm from California and that just doesn't happen out there unless you're in quarantine-lol!
So I've been super excited & totally at peace about all this and then about 2 days ago out of nowhere I started having anxiety like crazy! Are you getting nervous yet? I think mine is more about letting go of all the bad eating habits & delicious foods than the surgery itself. Definately worried about the 3 day clear liquid diet I have to start on Saturday! Best of luck with everything, let me know if I can be of any help- K
God bless!

As far as protein shakes, drinks, blah, blah. It has gotten crazy in past few years. There are SOO many choices.. flavors. I bought mine at Whole Foods. It is a Whey Protein Isolate (the Isolate part is important as there are lesser quality ones) with no sugar added. It is 108 calories per scoop and 26g of protein per serving.
I mix it with:
a liquid: milk, juice, or water
+
a thickener: SF jello, SF pudding, or yogurt
+
additional flavors: SF drink mixes, instant coffee, SF syrups, Stevia, nutmeg, cinnamon,vanilla
I can see no other way of getting in 60-80g of protein a day without doing 2 or 3 shakes. Keep in mind you can only absorb ~20-40g of protein at a time so adding two scoops doesn't really help.

Fellow-ship trained advanced laparoscopic surgeon. A member of the American College of Surgeons and the ASMBS. 
Its been over six years since we've launched our forums. During this time it has seen thousands of fresh faces, greetings, meetings, partings, arguments, kind words, life transformations, cathartic rants, and simply happy time pass. It has been with us throughout this time, silently observing and facilitating. But like any wise old man, its bones were getting old. Its joints were aching, and it has been needing a new jolt of energy.
A Mobile World
Did you know that over 30% of you visit our website using a mobile device? For those who do visit us via mobile, we owe you a sincere apology, because our forums have been horrendous on a mobile browser. But the big news is that things are about to change! Our new forums are completely mobile friendly and compatible with iPhone, Android, and pretty much any other modern smart phone.
Each post, topic, and forum shows up beautifully, with the full set of features, and in nice large font. See the screenshots for yourself.
You dont have do anything different, just browse to the forums like you normally would. This means that you can finally put these away:
Not Just for Mobile
The interface on your desktop browser has also been cleaned up a great deal. There is now less clutter on the page, and the overall experience is a lot cleaner. Check out some more screenshots here!
You will notice that each post no longer has 400 buttons below it. Only the buttons that are relevant to each post show up, making your screen space a lot less cluttered. Also, when you reply to another person's post, the entire post is indented inside, making it a lot easier to figure out who has replied to whom.
Launching soon! Maybe as early as next week! Maybe.
And do remember that this is not in any way a be-all-end-all when it comes to the forums. We are in the process of constantly learning and improving upon what we have, and this is just one step along the way.
Stay tuned for the changes! We look forward to hearing your thoughts on this.
