I recommend these protein drinks from costco. 30g of protein, low fat, low
sugar.

Boost brand has high fruitous corn syrup last time I checked.

I also take 1000mg Vitamin C, 3 times/day

Like the others said vitamin c is good but also high protein drinks such as 
Boost are good also. Dan*

  Also be sure to get plenty of Vitamin C. If you're not on blood thinners or 
other prescription medications that would prohibit its use, then you need to 
take 6,000 mg a day. But don't get it from a grocery store or pharmacy. Find 
out what the most absorbable type of C is online (my memory escapes me at the 
moment) and get it from a vitamin specialty store. If you don't have one 
locally, Vitacost.com is a good place to buy supplements. Hope this helps.
