Scared and excited

Am scheduling my surgery for Oct 4 to the 11th. I am worried but excited. What Protein Shakes is everyone choosing?

I will be using a whey Protein powder created by the Vitamin company I work for. www.procapslabs.com

These have a good taste and meet the requirements of 24g of Protein and less than 3 of sugar?

the unflavored has 0 sugar and 10g Protein per scoop - it's a powder. the vanilla that i like has 5g sugar and 7 grams of protein so I use 2 scoops of the unflavored and 1/2 scoop of the vanilla. They taste great! I hope when i get to mushies and can add 1/2 banana or some peaches to change up the variety. blend it in a personal blender... i drink them now with fruit (16 oz) as part of my pre-diet and really do like them.

They actually sound kind of low in Protein. What are the calories in each and then combined?

I used premiere Protein, it's 30 grams of protein and about 160 calories per serving.

1 scoop of the unflavored is 45 cal, 1 scoop of the vanilla is 63 cal. so my 2 scoops of unflavored with 1/2 scoop van has 121.5 cal and 23.5 g. Protein but they taste good and they are very healthy. Also, because i'm an employee, I get a discount...
