Question:
Best Protein? B-12?

I'm having surgery next week and just got back from shopping at GNC. Which protein supplement is better? Chocolate flavor Designer Protein w/17.5 grm protein and less than 1 grm sugar per scoop (1-3 scoops per 8 oz. liquid) or the Swiss Chocolate ProBlend 55 w/ 27.5 grm. protein and 2 grm sugar per scoop (2 scoops per 8-12 oz liquid)?? Any opinions on quality, taste, a little sugar versus less than 2 grms per 2 scoops????? Opinions please?? Also, how long do we take sublingual B-12 and how often?? Any opinions on scaring? Was use of vitamin E oil enough or would any of you suggest Rejuveness (silicone sheey used by plastic surgeons and burn units)? Your opinions are greatly valued!! Thanks alot.

Jennifer, I use the cherry flavored liquid protein by GNC. One tablespoon mixed in juice gatorade or koolaid gives me the protein I need and I dont have a lot of extra calories nor do I have to try to choke down something that I dont want to really drink. I didnt care for a lot of the flavored protein drinks, lots of extra calories and most had an aftertaste that was very unappealing to me post surgically. Hope this helps!
