Names of some protein powders or shakes I can buy at a local store or GNC to GAIN weight while PREGNANT?

* I'm 15 weeks pregnant
* My baby is super, but I have gone from 145 to 121.
* My doctor says I need to have GAINED 4 lbs by the next time I see her on Aug 13th, but I have still lost weight.
* I am on meds that keep me from puking still and they work, but I cant seem to eat enough to sustain my own weight or gain it.
* Most food I love, I cannot eat (milk especially!), and I also don't have cravings.
* What I do eat is super healthy (ie., hard-boiled eggs, yougurt, homemade broccoli soup, whole tomatoes & high fiber bars just to name a few), but I add in McDonald's kids meals once or twice a week to try and get that extra boost, but to no avail.
* I take prenatal vitamins so I want to know if having Slim Fast, Ensure, Boost (or whatever, do you know of anything?) is safe to have WITH my meals as a protein and calorie additive to gain this weight, while also making sure that in conjunction with taking my vitamins I dont risk overdoing any vitamin or mineral intake such as iron.
*Hopefully someone can suggest something I don't have to special order, while I'll try it, I want something I can buy at the grocery store or GNC TODAY! lol
