Keep in mind you're a fresh post op... its very common not to meet your protein goals the first few weeks post op....  My NUT/WLS surgeon said most importantly is to get one protein shake in a day(most of those are about 26g/8oz shake) and get as much of your 64 oz of calorie free liquids in (which you also won't be able to get all in for a few weeks more than likely)...

ALOT of us dump from sugar. I couldn't go near a Gatorade w/o getting extremely sick from its sugar content. But some don't dump from sugar.. thats going to be determined by your body.

I use Body Fortress from Walmart.. its like $12/tub and I haven't had any problems. Comes in like 4 flavors. But there are tons of types out there and flavors and a whole variety of prices/quality.  Isopure (@ GNC) is another big winner around here. I got samples and really liked it.. its just on the spendy side for me!
