Thanks! Where can I purchase it? Health food store, grocery store, online?
How's your post op course going thus far?

You can purchase it on this website. It is $29 and has 21 servings if you use the full scoop. I use the full scoop in 24 - 32 ounces of crystal light pink lemonade. I have a really tough time getting in my protein so it has helped a lot!

I am doing good post-op now. I developed a stricture three weeks post-op and ended up having to be in the hospital on two occasions. Once for 2 days for dehydration. Then another 2 days the following week to have an EGC (they put a balloon down my esophagus to stretch it.) Since then I have done better. I am still afraid to eat most things because I had so much trouble with dumping when I had the stricture. But I am doing better with that as well.
