In regards to the protein a couple suggestions I have is you can buy something called Stacker 2 at Meijers. It will be in the pharmacy area and it has 20 grams of protein in a bottle. There is a lot of volume but at least you can get in some protein. The other thing is that I can get my hands on protein supplements from my surgeon's office that are not milk based. My favorite is a fruit drink made with water. Let me know if you would like me to pick some up.
I do drink either unflavored or strawberry Unjury protein with crystal light and will be trying decaff coffee and either vanilla or chocolate Unjury later today. Thank you for those suggestions and offer to get the protein supplements...but I don't need them.
