Does anyone use herbal life protein shakes? Do you like it and find it an appropriate protein drink for post op bag?

it is not something that would be appropriate for me. It is soy protein and we need whey isolate. the soy is less bioavailable. Soy also messes with our hormones and you are going to have enough trouble with hormones in the early post op period without adding more trouble.

 

There is only 9 grams of protein in a serving and you really need at least 20 gms of protein in a protein shake,always,really. 13 gms of carbs with 9 of them sugar is a lot.

 

There are other products with better stats than this.
