Hi Bob, I never liked any of the protein shakes,  but there is one that wasn't that bad.  It's called 50 Gram Slam, (because it has 50 grams of protein in each can)it is already premixed.  I would drink 2 cans a day.  You can get it at any GNC store.  They have it in Chocolate, Vanila, and Cookies & Creme.  Try one can and see if you like it.  I hope my suggestion was helpful.  I will be praying that you come through your surgery, and continued success on your journey.  Have a Happy New year!!!

Bob, In all honesty, you should ask your doctor about that.  See if for some reason medi-fast is the ONLY thing they require.....there are TONS of protein shakes out there - but you wouldn't want to have your doctor cancel due to problems with skipping on the medi-fast for whatever reason. This is a very difficult time - but good luck to you!  You will be on the losers bench before you know it! Pam

Hi Bob Definately check with your doctor for some guidelines - every doctor is different in what they consider a liquid diet.  Some are protein shakes only, others include clear soups etc. I went to GNC and tried several different drinks as they sold them individually as well as packaged.  I didn't feel I was wasting alot of money trying drinks I didn't enjoy. Good Luck!
