Just met with the nutritionist and have all the info I need. Surgery will be scheduled by the end of the week! I was wondering what everyone's favorite pre-made protein shake brands/flavors as well as protein powders are?

Whatever you do, don't buy a bunch of stuff before surgery. I used to love premier shakes. And I mean LOVE them....but after surgery, I couldn't even! I still have them in the frig and I'm 2months out now. I'll try again and maybe my taste for them will return, but the point is, your tastes may change after surgery so don't "stock up" on anything right now.
If you want to, though, start making big pots of bone broth and freeze it. That'll carry you through your first month, and it's loaded with protein.
