Nancy' date=' the Protein shake I am using is close, but the nutritionist said it was fine for both pre and post op. It has 6g carbs and 4g sugar. She said the extra gram of carb is fine. I use Nitro-Peak whey Protein by Inner Armour. I get it at Vitamin World, but I found that the one I order from Vitamin World online tastes better than when I buy the same product in the store. I can't imagine why they would taste different, but they do...weird. unjury makes yummy Protein Powder that fits the bill. You can go online to Unjury.com and order samples to see what you like. Chike makes yummy protein shakes too, Chike.com you can order samples. The other brand I have not tried, but comes highly recommended is nectar. You can also get samples to try their flavors. If you like fruity drinks, then nectar has many that mix up with Water to be like Kool-aid. I would go the sample route (I don't think you can get samples of Nitro Peak) unless you know that you like Protein Shakes. We have been drinking them on and off in my house for years so I already knew I liked that one. But if you are not sure, 40 is a lot to spend in the event that you hate it![/quote']

Wow, thanks Tracy for all the great advice! Just found the Unjury starter kit. Going to give it a try. Going to need something for the aftermath even if I don't go on the pre-surgery liquid diet. Here I thought my grocery bill would go down after the surgery! Lol. Thanks again!

Sorry for that posting twice. My phone went all weird on me & I couldn't find my reply so I did it again. :-)

I am scheduled for the 4th in Dallas! So far I love Dr. Kim & his entire staff! They are so great!!

Dr. Kim and staff are great. As far as DFW surgeons go he is top shelf. Good look with your surgery, you having it at forrest park? That facility is great. I'm starting week 4 post-op, if you have any questions feel free to ask me anything.
