I would not drink it. It has far too much sugar. The highest I ever go is about 4-5 gr. Perhaps try some protein drinks that have 15-30 grs of protein

The program I went through advised us to look for double digits of protein and single digits of sugar when evaluating protein drinks.  I try to stick with ones that have 15g or more of protein.  I've found that most mainstream grocery store brands don't meet this criteria, so I usually look around at GNC or Vitamin Shoppe.

Good luck with your surgery!

Kinda figured it was a no no lol I'll stick to the unjury someone told me the Special K are good but with that much sugar is probably why it's good lol

Others are equally good tasting and much higher in protein without all the sugar - that one would make me queasy for sure and I'm over 8 years out. Not sure if you have access to Premier proteins shakes but they are ready-to-drink, great stats, and delicious.

Rather depends on which surgery you had and how fast you want lose weight. 

Highest 290, Banded - 248   Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.

Happily banded since May 2006.  Regain of 28lbs 2013-14.  ALL GONE!

But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,

Forgive me for going off topic, but I'm having a difficult time with the protein drink. ( It makes me gag ) So today, I mixed it in with my coffee and found it palatable. Is this a good idea, or should I keep searching for a flavor I can tolerate.  I am having my procedure in August-no date yet-but I'm trying to find a way to tolerate these.  Thanks for any advice!
