Ok so I bought some protein powder at Walmart. I just wanted to try it before surgery. (I don't have a date yet) Well, I mixed it with 1% milk...yum! The label says you can mix it with water. I am trying it now blended with water and ice. It's almost like a frostie from Wendy's. I save 110 calories by drinking it with water but I really prefer it with milk. How do you drink it? Also, is it true that you can't use a straw after surgery?

No straws. I make mine with almond milk or skim milk. I regularly have it with one cup milk warmed with powder added, shake added to concentrated tea. My current favorite is with mint tea. in the summer I make fruit smoothies cold with milk. If too thick I add some water to thin

No it's chocolate. I haven't heard about it having to be unflavoured.

Remember that milk may have more calories... But it has protein too, at the beginning you will be taking in very little calories and protein will be most important

Good to know. I live right behind the shop almost. LOL I have to start my opti March 21st. I feel a bit over whelmed right now with trying to remember what I need and what to buy.

I use rice milk with mine and it's yummy too...that's the flavoured stuff. the unflavoured is for use in soups, or regular type foods so it goes unnoticed. I use both.
