    I was wondering the same thing and then someone mentioned the Pure Protein shakes you can find at Wal-Mart (in the Pharmacy vitamin aisle) and Sams. 110 cal, 1 g sugar, 23 g Protein. I grabbed a 4-pack from Wal-Mart and amazingly, they were pretty good! This morning, I took one of the vanilla shakes, added a tablespoon of sugar-free chocolate fudge jell-o pudding and a little crushed ice, mixed it up with my stick blender and had a full 32 oz. chocolate shake. YUM! Maybe these will work for you too. Good luck! I have my surgeon consult on Tuesday afternoon, so we'll see what he and the insurance company say.
