I am only instructed for the first two weeks to have 2ounces of

ensure plus or boost plus for meals. Then on to soft foods. The

strawberry gave me a reaction today so now I only stick to vanilla.

whopping 19 grams of sugars. ENSURE Light (200 cal) comes in with

only 10g of protein and 18g of sugars.

achieve the instructed 80g of protein per day a lot faster.

Pat,

If I may ask, where do you get your Atkins shakes?? I am one month

post op, and I know I am not getting enough protien.. I have tried

other drinks, but they make me sick.. I have also noticed the amount

of sugar in the other shakes.. Thanks, Dawn
