Pre-Made vs Whey Protein Powder

Not to spark a huge debate but I'm really struggling to decide what will be best for me post surgery. I'm having surgery on Wednesday and I haven't had to do a liquid diet preop.

My doctor suggested SF carnation instant Breakfast and a drink like Ensure or the premade Atkins drinks. I'm just nervous about not getting enough Protein. Did anyone else's surgeon suggest this?

I also need something convenient and that I can pick up at a Walmart or GNC as ill need it for the end of the week. Suggestions please??

I use EAS premade but let me just say this: what taste good to you now may not taste good after surgery. I would recommend you try a few but dont buy a lot until you know after surgery you will like it. The ones I bought before I hated after because your taste will change. EAS carb control chocolate is very good, no after taste and is 17 grams per serving.

Thanks, haven't seen the cheese on Amazon.

Would like to eventually try it on whole grain Pasta.

Ever try those E-Z Mac packets? It's kinda like that but a lil thicker. Idk if I'll use it with pasta as I would think it should taste like kraft mac n cheese and it won't lol. But that's just me.
