One of the proactive things I have been doing is trying out different protein shakes. For the two weeks before and the two weeks after the surgery, I will have to drink all of my protein. I have to take in 60 grams of protein a day. I can only have 4 grams or less of sugar in the drink as well.
Knowing that I am picky as is, we figured we had better start trying now. Jeff made a form for me to enter how well I liked the shakes. The ratings from best to worse are: Awesome, Good, Tolerable, Bad, Liquid Death (yes, liquid death). Here are my comments so far.
