I'm not sure what protein x is but if you are in an area where there is a Trader Joe's they have a good whey protein called Designer Whey and it is only $9 a can. It is about the only one I like but everyone has their own likes and dislikes when it comes to protein. You won't necessarily have the same taste after surgery as you have not. Good luck!! Pam K

I received my sample of Proteinex and the company that makes is (Lloren Pharmaceuticals) even included an order sheet. They charge about $23.00 for a 16 oz bottle, this includes shipping and handling. When I went to Walgreen's and asked if they could special order it for me, they told me the cost for the 16 oz bottle would be $32.00! Ordering from the manufacturer is always cheaper. Good luck to you!

I found Challenge's Liquid Protein at GNC this past weekend. They have not carried it for a while, but the clerk informed me they were going to start carrying it on a regular basis again, due to high demand. It was $14.99 for about a 20oz. bottle.
