ProCare.
Tastes nasty but a pretty good product.

VitaMedica has some vitamin blends specially for surgery... www.vitamedica.com/html/surgerysupplements.html

I'm still not sure what you are asking....

The Procare is a powder you add to liquid and drink (It tastes nasty).
The vitamins are pills you swallow.

I like it  a lot, as it's tailored to postop patients needs.

Also like the Zero-carb Isopure which had 40g of protein (!) and the Nu-Whey that has 42g in a very low volume....just 5 or 6 ounces I think

VitaMedica also makes an excellent vitamin program that is high in the B complex (like 3000% of the RDA, inclusing B12) for those with anemia issues, and avoids vitamin E prior to and after surgery.

I use all of these depending on my patient's needs, medical conditions, type of WL surgery,  and what they can stand the taste of best !
