whey protein powder
As soon as I was discharged from the hospital, so the day after surgery.

According to my surgeon's plan, I anticipate starting protein powder on the eighth day after surgery. But not with dairy milk; with water or almond (or soy, they say, but I dislike soy milk.)
I haven't had surgery yet but I'm supposed to be getting 90 grams of protein/day from protein powders. So far so good, I think.
I have a basement but don't dwell in it full time.
