Hey everyone. . I am almost to the surgery date, my pre-op is Friday. I'm getting very excited yet nervous.  Is there any protein shakes out there someone could recommend?  I have done the whey protein and its nasty, so is the eas already mixed stuff.. something that isn't chalky and don't taste bad?

I didn't find any that were at all appetizing, especially as a new post op.  Egg white protein doesn't have that horrible aftertaste, and is acceptable as a replacement to creamer/sweetener in my coffee.  The key is making a slurry with a little water, then adding that to the coffee (adding powder to hot liquids makes it clump).

Where do you find egg white protein and what is the cost in relation to Whey protein?   Whey used to be great for me but now it upsets my stomache.  I am far enough out(7yrs) that I can eat enough to get my protein from food but it would be nice to have a back up for those days when I just dont feel hungry.

That's exactly what I do too, Dana (use as backup).  I got my first pack of Jay Robb Egg White protein from Kroger, but I also found it at Amazon.  I think it's a little pricier, but its worth it to me.

I know you said you didn't like the whey protein but I found the optimum Nutrition 100% whey 
to be pretty unoffensive. I mix mine with water and it is thin enough and has less aroma than any of 
the others I tried,

That's my preference. A lot of people like Unjury unflavored to add to coffee, yogurt, whatever.
