Allieg8tor, I hope you didn't lift that case all by yourself!!!

Nope, I had my uncle Robert carry it for me.

As any southern gentleman should, he didn't even complain!

My Dr instructed me to have between 40-60 grams of Protein daily' date=' I have tried the Medifast shakes and Muscle Milk, both were ok. Went to GNC to see what they had for options. They make a line of their own shakes called lean. I bought a strawberry, vanilla, and a pumpkin flavor one to try them. The pumpkin is EXCELLENT, they also have a Cookies and cream flavor, will try that one soon. One of these in the AM and one later in the day gets me plenty of the Protein I need. Just wish I had found them sooner. They are definitely the best tasting I have found. Especially the pumpkin! Just wanted to share with everyone out there either pre-op or post Op liquid diet etc...

Do mix it with milk or Water?

My surgery was Oct. 2nd. I've been doing pretty awesomely' date=' I think. I've healed really well and I kind of made things easier on myself for the post-op diet by introducing one item at at time that was on the list, so that I always felt like I was getting more variety. I stayed with the same three items until I couldn't take it, added one, and that's really gotten me through the worst of it. For me, it's all about a "reward" system, so I just kinda set it up so that I always feel like there's a little surprise to look forward to! Homemade sugar free Hot chocolate was my favorite so far!

That's awesome! How do you make sugar free homemade hot chocolate? I love hot chocolate because I don't like coffee and that's what I drink during the winter :-)

I'm heading to GNC now to look for the pumpkin flavor! Super excited! Just bought 2 cases of strawberry last week. That brand is my favorite so far!! Thanks all!!

Aaaannndd' date=' the verdict is:

THESE shakes ARE AMAZING!

Literally the best flavor. I wish it would last forever.

I bought a case of 12 to start.

Yay!! <3

Has anyone tried them heated?[/quote']

You can make your own pumpkin flavor. I do think with my Profit Protein all year.
