Oh thats a bummer.. I have also learned alot as well.. I tried some shakes I at previous weightloss effort used EAS carb control shakes they are 17gms protien I like those alot I purchase cases of 24 at sams club for like $22 so it's a good deala. I also like muscle milk shakes they have 30gms protien so after surg ill prob go with the higher protien. Have you found some you like?
