I've bought the Splash from GNC it comes in numerous flavours, as well as unflavoured, I've got a friend who's 2 years out and he never liked the shakes (not sure about the protein but not liking the opti myself). So I went with his recomendation's also picked up some samples, I was able to buy 4 packs of Premier Protein at Shoppers Drug Mart so I don't have too much if I don't like it.

I would wait until after surgery and then get to GNC and take advantage of their return policy - if you hate it you can return it within 30 days. Whatever brand you do buy, it should be Whey Isolate. They all taste a little disgusting and then again I am now acutely aware of sweet and everything tastes too sweet so the flavoured powders don't work for me at all. Also remember that immediately after surgery you may have a serious case of the "everything smells disgusting" which makes it hard to really know what you like or dislike. start slow with getting tons of stuff in the house although two things that helped me were a demi tasse spoon and little dishes. The spoon helped me slow down because it was so small and the small ramekins that I used for food made the portions not look lost on my plates and bowls. Good luck!

I was not a fast loser but who cares as long as you get there! I know the newbies check the trackers and the signatures so although I kind of lost track of how the rest of the weight came off, you should know that it was not fast and furious but it was slow and steady!

current BMI 24.7 that, my friends, is NORMAL!!! Strong is the new pretty!
