Hi Jessica,
Best of luck with your surgery! In regards to the protein supplements, vitalady.com has samples that you can purchase for 1.99 each. I have tried the problend 55-swiss chocolate, didn't like it. I haven't tried the others I ordered yet. I like the idea of ordering samples, that way you are not stuck with 2 lbs of nasty stuff :-) The problend 55 has 27 grams 1 scoop, 4 oz of water. I like the sugar free chocolate carnation instant breakfast, mix 1 pkg with 6 Tbsp of nonfat dry milk and 8 oz of skim milk, it's 20 grams of protein. Also high protein hot chocolate, 8 oz skim milk, 2 Tbsp sugar free hot chocolate mix, and 2 Tbsp of dry milk= 16 grams of protein and taste good too. The bariatric center gave me some other high protein recipes, if your interested feel free to email me. Best of luck to you for a complication free surgery and speedy recovery!! God Bless!
