I keep reading about protein powders and how they are tasteless and can be used in anything. Where can I find these powders? Also, where can I find recipes to make my own protein shakes? Thanks

Unjury makes an unflavored protein powder that many like. It's not flavorless, like benefiber, or miralax, but you can add it to things like soups or other soft foods to up the protein.

benefiber, or miralax, is this a protein as well?

Benefiber is soluble fiber to firm up your stool and miralax is a laxative to keep things moving.

I do!  You should check with your surgeon for her recommendations, though.

I see him this afternoon. I'm making a list of questions for him. I never received anything that tells me what I'm supposed to be doing. I feel like I'm barely treading water now.

I use the Unjury unflavored and I really can't taste it at all.  I have used it in soups and chili.

Exactly.  :)  But if you mixed it in water, you would notice it.
