Check the nutritional info on teh Special K. I think I looked at them in the supermarket and they were pretty high in sugar and carbs. Try the Syntha 6 from GNC.

If you're looking for a different taste you can try Isopure from GNC.

I like to use Premier Protein that I get from Cost Co, they are low carb,low fat and have 30gms of protein per shake.

I wouldn't recommend Special K Protein shakes. You can get better quality protein without the sugar and carbs that will help you in the long run.

Now is not the time to short-change your body with cheap imitations.

Well said!!

I'v tried several protein shakes including the Isopure and they are disgusting. The Special K ones are the only ones I've found that I don't have to choke down. I don't think Special K shakes are "cheap imitations", they are only 190 calories and yes only 10gm protein but shouldn't be your daily staple food anyway. Bottom line you have to find the one that is right for you. No one can or should drink things they don't like.

I agree that people shouldn't have to drink/eat things they don't like, but ya know, I don't particularly like fruit, but I eat it because I know I have to in order to keep the commitment I made to myself when I decided to be banded. There are a lot of foods I'm learning to like simply because I know my body needs it to be healthy.

Good luck in your Quest to find Health and Happiness!

try sythac's Nectar protein drinks. They are delicious and have no carbs or sugar. It also comes in like 10 flavors!

angieboyd....

I have been drinking Bariactric Advantage. It came from the Dr with Vitamins and Calcium. I was never hungry, and it worked well for me. I had the choc and vanilla powder and was able to mix up a variety of tasty shakes.

Read the threads in here. There are SOOO many things you can do with a Protein shake to make it taste great. I've fallen "in love" with the Syntha 6 shake, but I bought a lot of the Medifast shakes that I need to get rid of so I sexy them up with bananas or cinnamon or strawberries or PB2 (gotta love that stuff). Be creative. Make it fun. lol

Did you know one of the main reasons people don't stay on diets is because they force themselves to eat what they don't like. Learning to eat right is not eating things you don't like, its about finding things that are healthy that you do like.

Being banded isn't a diet- It's a lifestyle.

No one is forcing anyone to drink a Protein shake they don't like. I was merely stating that when I decided to have lap band surgery, I made the commitment to myself to become a healthier me- and that meant making some changes including learning to like some foods I didn't like before. I don't particularly like to exercise either, but I made that commitment to myself and I do it everyday.

There are so many options out there for protein- it doesn't matter how you get it, as long as you're getting the right amount.

I was wondering with the syntac nector powder. How much water do you put to how much power. I had a packet of powder and did 6 oz of water and then ice and it tasted so watered down. I think it could be good if I have the right ratio.

I use a shaker bottle that I believe holds about 8 ounces of skim milk, and I've had no sense of it seeming too thin. The chocolate truffle and the caribbean cooler are both great. The cherry---not so much.

Thanks everyone for your input! I do agree that those special K one's are not as hard to get down. I do believe that I was given a packet of that sythac's nectar one when I went to see my dietician, however I think I made it wrong, lol it exploded when I went to shake it up! what can i say I am not the smartest one of the bunch! lol Does anyone know where I can get some samples? Oh and NJSizzla, what is PB2 ?

Oh and NJSizzla, what is PB2 ?

PB2 is a subsitute for Peanut Butter. Its made from a process where they take real peanuts, roast them, then press them into a powder. This eliminates all the fat and oil and bad stuff. You can add it to your food as a powder or add Water (or milk or almond milk) to it to turn it into peanut butter and spread it. Its a great alternative to peanut butter in terms of caloriies and since it's actually peanuts, you get all the flavor. Just one more great thing I learned right here. I made a phenomenal shake with it today. And I am making a spicy Thai curry with it tomorrow for my chicken. And my wife and kids will eat it too.

The Special Protein Drink mix (just add to bottle of water) is only 30 calories and gives you 5gr of protein. I have to drink Water anyway. I like the pink lemonade flavor, personally.
