Only use the low-cal slim fast. They may be low in sugar, but they're not low in calories. We were told only low cal or none for slim fast. I didn't care for unjury - I could smell it and it had a hint of taste. It wasn't horrible, but if I can find something with less taste I'd go for that. I also really like the Health Wise drinks - there's probably about a dozen or so different drinks and they're all pretty good ( http://www.healthwisenri.com/ ). I think there's 6 or 7 packets in a box and it's maybe 5 bucks for the box. Out of several things I've tried, I like those the best. I've not had surgery, but I've had taste tests. Also, at Walmart they make "Body Fortress" which was recommended by my nutritionist - I believe a scoop equals about 20g protein and it comes in a HUGE bottle. I hope some of these suggestions have helped! ~Dana ~Dana
