hye there, can't answer all the questions, but I did try the fruit punch bullets from bariatriceating.com or gnc (42 gram ) kind and ugg they were awful...choked them down. But, I just bought the grape kind from gnc and have mixed 1/2 of it with equate grape drink mix in a litre water bottle and I can drink it without even tasting it. I helps to make sure I get my protein---which I have been told 60-80 grams/day. hope this helps.

Have you tried Isopure? It comes in 20 oz bottles (in the health food seciton of grocery stores) but packs a whopping 40 grams of protein with zero calories. I drink one a day on the way home from work and it really helps me. Good luck.

I bought some at Vitamin Shoppe. A few of the flavors were strong and I mixed them with Crystal Light and they were OK. I'm on the preop diet and my doc wants me to get 30-40g per meal. I had the 50g size. Then I bought the 42g size in grape and was able to gulp it down in 4 swallows. I also bought some online, but I don't remember offhand where. I also second the Isopure Zero Carb drinks. They're 20 ounces, so they might be hard to get down after surgery. They have 40g of protein.
