Why are post-ops using Carnation Inst. Breakfast? Protein&vitamin question

I am pre-op and am trying to find foods for after wls and I see that many people here use CIB (sugar free), I am trying to figure out why. We take vitamins and eat other foods so why bother with it? I understand the protein drinks...Which leads me to question 2...I baught 15...yep 15 sample packs of protein from vitalady. I HATED all of them and I tried to feed them to DH and the kids and I couldn't even con my 7 yr old son so more than sip one of the chocolate ones. He kept saying Mommy, there is something wrong with my chocolate milk...I agreed with him totally!! So now what do I try? Also, where is the cheapest place to buy the calciun citrate and B vit? Does everyone have to take extra iron? Thank you for your answers..I don't know what I would do without this site and all of you!!
