3g of sugar for how much protein and total calories?  Is 3g the total carbs or just the sugar carbs?  If you're only getting 10g of protein, then yes too high.  If you're getting 30g of protein, 3g isn't bad...as long as you stay under the total carbs outlined by your nut, you should be good.

Lots of people, including myself, have used these shakes with success (I hit my initial goal in 6.5 months). Admittedly I do take a more laid back approach, but honestly driving yourself coo-coo over 1 gram is not cool. I've found, especially the mint, to taste a lot better than a great deal of protein shakes.

Do for sure let your nut know. She will very likely be completely surprised and astounded that what's in the store doesn't align with her recommendations. I can also guarantee you that if this is the first time this has happened for you, it absolutely won't be the last. At some point your surgeon's office will tell you something that doesn't line up with what your nut recommends - or vice versa. A bariatric nurse will tell you something completely different than the surgeon told you. Then the surgeon will ask you why the heck you did something that someone at the hospital told you to do. Then you will come on here and post something you did and someone will tell you that's the complete opposite of their program. There are so many approaches and plans, and even more products. I think one of the hardest things to do is to find your own path through it all that includes listening/reading/hearing everything out there, synthesizing and cross-checking, and finally arriving at the conclusions that balance good sense and successful practice so that you can achieve your goals. Don't get too caught up in wanting advice to be consistent - it won't be!
