Low Carb/atkins Shakes?



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I have been banded since 3/7/09 and have always semi-watched my carb intake. I also suffer from PCOS and being carb free really helps that.

I used to have Tescos own Low Carb shakes (you know like Slim Fast) but they have stopped doing them, so it seems has every supermarket and they have also stopped the actual Atkins shakes. I'm lost without them in the mornings!

Does anyone know where I can get some from please? Have you seen them in some random shop?

Please help me...... :o)

Google Body by Vi - made by Visalis. My LB surgeon used to use Ungery but changed to this product. I was skeptical, but it tastes fabulous and can e mixed into wonderful shakes with many different recipes. HOWEVER, it would be less expensive ordering from Amazon.com to save $20 s/h and taxes. I ordered the shape up kit for $99 that lasts for a month - having 2

drinks a day, a meal, and two reasonable Snacks. I LOVE it! The powder smells like came mix and tastes wonderful - not like a nasty Vitamin drink. And, NO, I'm not a distributor or make money from it in ANY way - just a happy user!

Body fortress whey powder that Walmart sells is low on carbs. 1 scoop is 4g of carb but it yields 26g of Protein. Depending on how low your daily carb count is you can do Simply Smart milk and 1 scoop of powder and blend with a little ice ends up 17g carb but a nice number of 36g of protein. I know 17g can be a lot especially if your doing Atkins induction.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
