I seem to have a problem with not getting enough Protein. My dr. tells me to keep Protein Bars in my work van because I rarely eat during the day if Im busy. I found a very good Protein shake called Syntha-6. It has, I believe 45 grams pr. and tastes great. Ive had strawberry and chocolate, they taste like Nestles Quick but without the Salmonella! I believe it has 240 or 280 calories but if its the only meal until evening its fine for me.

Just figured Id throw it out there. I havent been on here for awhile but it used to be a frequently asked question.

Now with this being said, neither Protein shakes nor bars satisfy my hunger at all.

Thanks for the 411. Hope you find a tummy filler.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Suggestion: If you are traveling a lot in your van why not go to a lower calorie, low carb shake 100 to 140 cal and 25 gms of protein ( or only one scope of the shake)and pack some small protein snacks to eat through out the day while traveling. Because you are correct if using shakes and bars as a meal they will not keep you satisfied and you will be hungry quicker and be tempted to snack. Suggestions, Cheese Sticks, raw almonds (10-15), beef or turkey jerky, a sandwich on protein flatbread. (You can keep it in a small cooler) Not eating will not help you lose weight and will encourge you to snack and continue bad habits. Eating regular protein meals in very key to WL with lap band. Good luck and I know you didn;t ask for advice but I just like to put my two cents in sometimes nothing personal intended.

My problem is I'm lactose intolerant. Most protein shakes, even the powder has lactose. I can't have soy either.

Talkalot-- this may not be appetizing but they make powdered egg white Protein powder. I saw it at Vitamin shoppe!

Ugh. That's not appealing. Lol. But I will def look it up.

Not a shake but a zero carb beverage liquid line Crystal Light (GNC) it's called Isopure Zero Carb 40 gms protein not too bad...lots of flavors but expensive. Well woth it for me to get protein in when I'm too low.

The black iced tea is yummy. I mix it with crystal light lemonade to get more bang for the buck.
