Protein shakes post op

[vegbeth 79]

So my sleeve surgery is scheduled December 28th. During my preop phase my nut recommended I start drinking Protein Shakes which i have been doing. But generally I've bought unflavored Protein Powder than flavored it as I like, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, spices, etc. Will I be able to do that when I'm in the liquid stage post op or should I plan on buying some flavored powders? Thanks.

Congratulations on the upcoming surgery. I tried a few flavoured Proteins before I had the surgery but just be aware that your taste buds may change and what you liked before you don't like afterwards. Try sample sizes if you can. I am sure you would be okay adding flavouring yourself but check with you NUT to be sure.

Good Luck
