If you can tolerate milk, I say go for the milk. It does add more calories but it also adds more protein.  If you dont' know if you are lactose intolerant (many of us develop it post op), try using Lactaid Milk.  I find they taste better with milk also, it gives the shakes more consistancy and they are creamier.  Avoid carnation instant breakfast - not your best option for protein drinks. Stick to whey protein or whey isolate protein.  Your other choices are fine.
