Thank you everyone for the input .now 1 week out of surgery and feeling much better.I happen to have the worst time with my protein ,but my nutritionist gave me a recipe for a homemade shake that tastes great and has 29 grams of protein here it is: 3/4 cup egg beaters,1 cup skim plus milk,1 teaspoon vanilla extract,2 packs artificial sweetener,ice . Put in a blender and mix.This takes a while to drink,but it really is good.
