must haves after surgery

The most popular one is from unjury.com but there are others. Remember that just because it is "flavorless" doesn't mean it doesn't have some sort of taste to it.

I get unflavored optimum nutrition gold standard whey from vitacost.com.  I agree with the comment above if it is unflavored you can still taste it if you put too much in with whatever you're eating/drinking.  I at first tried to mix in a half of a scoop into my chicken broth and it was disgusting so I had to put in a quarter of a scoop and then I couldn't taste it at all.

Unjury is the bow my doc sold I thought it was nasty 

I just took a pre-op nutrition class and this is what I got for the first 2 weeks. Counting your 2 weeks from the day of your surgery. All liquids + protein supplements; water, decaf tea, sugar free gelatin, clear broth, apple juice (delute 50/50 w/water), sugar free popsicles, 1% milk (some people can't tolerate milk). There's some really neat stuff out there like vitamin water zero, isopure, surgar free crystal light, dryers sugar free fruit bars and Syntrax Nectar (23 g of protein). Good luck and keep us posted.

so the protein powder can only be purchased online? not in stores?

You can find some in the stores, but you have to be careful and read the labels. I've seen tons of Whey Blends.....and my surgeon's office says that is a No No....

Isopure and Chapstick!
