Pre-op liquid diet - Shakes to lose weight?

Hello!

Please help me!

I was told by my NUT to drink 2 shakes and a healthy meal (high protein low carbs) or 3 shakes to help me lose the 10 pounds I needed to lose.

The problem is she recommended Ensure which has 40gr of carbs / 22 g sugar. I followed her advise and gained 2.8 lbs in about a week! :o

Can you please tell me what shakes have you tried (and liked) that can help me achieve the ultimate goal of losing the remaining 8 pounds I need to lose before my next appointment in 12 days! (My surgeon will not schedule my surgery until I lose the weight!)

Thank you in advance for your help.

Do you know the name or does it say just Protein shake? Thank you!

It's Market Pantry Whey Protein powder...all I've had is the chocolate, since I'm such a chocolate lover :)
