Atkins. For a short time it's OK, but it has often been blamed for causing kidney stones. True. My husband went to ER and the first questions added of many were about diet he was on and he said ATKINS all the pros in triage all said "ahhhh of course!"

My pre-op was like Carolina Girls, and I got so sick of sweet flavors that chicken broth with Protein was my favorite thing! I used plain Protein Powder in Knorr chicken broth cubes, or Unjury chicken protein powder. The trick is to mix cold and then microwave, or it is lumpy.
