you will do fine. i use whey isolate from walmart. i like the cookies and creme and the chocolate. i put mine in freezer (and use fat free skim milk) and its nearly like having a milkshake.

how are you doing otherwise??

You will be fine beleive me I thought that I could not, But you will surprise yourself and Walmart has lots of good choices for reasonable that taste great:0)

You can do it! Just remember the reason for the pre-op diet. Not only so your liver won't be harmed during the operation, but think of the diet as a dress-rehearsal for the important post op diet. I'm almost two weeks post op and can tell you that it is sooo worth it! Good luck to you and let us know how it goes.

I had a problem with any powdered form of protein. They all seemed to have an after taste? I like EAS drinks and they are cheap but only if really cold; prefer the vanilla but the strawberry is not bad.

Thank you guys for the support...Everything is going fine. I went to GNC and got a different protein shake. The after taste is horrible but I am determined to make it! I just came back from vacation and it was soooo horrible watching everybody eat, drink and be merry while I was sipping on a protein shake. It was hard but I managed. One week to go until my surgery...wish me luck!
