I get my protein powder from Walmart. It tastes good, depending on what its mixed in. As far as the liquid diet, mine consisted of protein shakes, chicken broth and jello. And of course water.
Let's see....what to expect the first 2 weeks, pain, and there are 6 magic words that make their way onto the posts of new post-ops...........walk walk walk sip sip sip. But I still have trouble getting all the water in each day, especially when I'm at work and we are busy like we were yesterday. I did good to get 32 ounces in.
Now, please keep in mind that there are FAR more people on here with better advice, but this is just what I did/do. Good luck!!!
