post op protein powder?
I really dislike protein shakes, so I avoided flavoured protein powders.
Instead, I opted for Beneprotein. It is tasteless, so you can add it to foods like yogurt or mashed potatoes. I ordered the powder from my pharmacy.
I didn't want to spend the extra money on chewable vitamins, so I waited until I could swallow regular ones. My surgeon wasn't too concerned that I went a month without vitamins. It is important that we take them in the long term, so not taking them in the short term wasn't a big deal.
Hope this helps.

I had bought Kaizen 100% Whey Protein in the Vanilla Ice Cream flavor to try to get used to it, and it's nice, I like it mixed in with 1/2 cup nonfat sugar free yogurt (any flavor) or with 1/2 cup non fat milk & 1/2 cup water. So far I've lost a bit of weight just trying to prepare myself for this 800 cal pre-op diet.
