EAS shakes are pretty good.  I don't remember if/what sugar content is, but you might want to check that and that your calories aren't outrageous with the 3 of them.  I assume you are far enough out that you are eating other foods too?  If you have a nutritionist, you could check with them too.  Actually I went back and looked and I can't tell when you had surgery.  If it was fairly recently, you may want to check with your surgeon.

try muscle milk light or met rex.  Taste better and their light versions have less sugar.  Muscle milk chocolate is awesome.

Flo....it's all a matter of taste.  I for one think Muscle Milk tastes like yesterday's dishwater with a bit of chocolate in it.

I only like EAS cafe caramel but can't find them anymore.

I take an EAS chocolate, put it in the blender with
1/2 cup of skim milk for more protein and some calcium
a squirt of sugar free Hershey's chocolate syrup
1 packet of Splenda
a big scoop of PB2 (powdered peanut butter)
ice

And blend away.  Makes a Reesy tasting milk shake.  yummo

Hugs

I am 6 weeks out and have been drinking 1-2 EAS Premium Protein shakes from Costco. It has 27 grams per serving, 140 cal., 2.5 fat, 3 carb, 2 sugars. That is if I only mix it with water. If I mixed it with milk, even more protein..The only thing with this product is that is has 3 kinds of protein in it...whey, soy, and casein. I hope that is ok..I'm feeling fine and dandy, but recently found out I was low on iron and Vit. D..I don't think this drink has anything to do with that though..

I LOVE the EAS Protein drinks!  They are a daily staple for me.  I use the EAS Myoplex or EAS Myoplex Lite.  They have 20-25 gms of protein, 2 gms fat, 170 cal, 1 gm sugar.  I mix a scoop of protein powder with them to give me a 43-48 gram protein drink.  My surgeon wants me to get 70-80 gms of protein per day via protein drinks.  So I do 2 EAS shakes per day with the protein powder added in to get my daily protein requirements in.

I get mine at Rite-Aid (local drugstore) and TOP Foods (local grocery store).  You can also go to www.eas.com and shop online.

I have the EAS vanilla whey. One scoop has 23g protein, 3 carbs and 120 calories. Pretty equal to the Isopure vanilla which is also very good, even better than the EAS.
 I found that the lite muscle milk has 1/2 amount of protein and twice as many carbs but will have one of those a day if I feel like a change. (unless you use 2 scoops but then you double cals and carbs.

Love the chocolate in my coffee.  I go to Sam's club and buy the bulk pack of them.  Alot cheaper that way.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the EAS advantedge low carb!!  chocolate fudge...OMG so good.  I am so glad I found them b/c I just hate the whey protein shakes, but these taste like yummy chocolate milk.  Love it!  and with 17 g of protein and 110 calories it's a great meal option
