I had my pre-op testing done today.  My surgery is scheduled for November  3rd.
I have gotten a few different protein drinks and have started trying them to see what I like.
Has anyone found that there tastes change after surgery?
I will be on a liquid diet before surgery and am trying to prepare.

Any suggestions on a specific brands?
Thanks

Right after surgery I couldn't stand the taste of anything sweet, which was a problem since most protein drinks are sweet!  I put AnyWhey in broth to get my protein in, and yes, I did choke down a few of those too-sweet-tasting protein drinks.  Now, 7 weeks later, I find that sweet things taste okay, but my cravings for sweets which I had as a pre-op are now gone.  I also found that I couldn't stand the taste of water either from the tap or the Brita pitcher, but Aquafina and Dasani were both fine.  I can now drink the tap or Brita water again.

As for brands, I wholeheartedly recommend Max Protein, which is available at some (but not all) GNC stores.  I *love* their chocolate flavor.  It tastes just like Yoo Hoo.  It's my favorite by far.  I also like the Nectar Roadside Lemonade, mixed with Crystal Light Lemonade.

Best wishes for your surgery!
