Ok, I came across this website.. http://www.thefind.com/beauty/info-protein-tabs

I seen some protein in pill form at the nature store, and online.. my question is.. is it possible after week 1, would taking a pill have same effect as powder, will my body absorb? there is even chewable ones.. I was thinking.. IF  would be workable.. um... how about doing this instead of shakes.. was a thought.. I am already looking for ways around shakes.. LOL  any opinions?

I would definately ask your surgeon. If these protein pills are not highly bioavailable, do not get them.. they must be broken down in a simple to absorb form for us to get enough out of them to be worth buying.  look for high bioavailability on the label or make sure it says something about being an isolate.

I think I may recall that the pills are not a good choice for us, but I could be mistaken. The surgeon is the best one to consult on this. I'd print out the info on them from the website, and take it to the next appointment so he can look at it and decide.

Good luck on this!
