Has anyone tried Slim Fast Low Carb Shakes



Recommended Posts

I agree - sometimes you need to add to the shakes to give them a flavor boost. I have added SF dry pudding mix or Crystal Light to change up the taste. I personally enjoy Slim Fast and Atkins shakes. I have used the shakes on and off for years to lose weight. Actually, the Atkins ones are so tasty I drink the Cafe Latte for Breakfast and I am not even on a pre op diet :) I got my shipment of Syntrex Protein Nectars - the variety sample pack - and some of the flavors are wild!!! I just hope they taste as good as they sound.

One thing I have noticed is that every person has very different taste. I seem to like more of the Protein drinks than other people. But I have always been big into SF products so the after-taste doesn't even register anymore. This may or may not change post op :eek: Best to buy sample size and do a test run than to sink tons of money into drinks you may or may not like.

I bet if you took a poll on who likes this brand Protein Drink vs that brand.. it would be split evenly.

Agreed, I'm one of the few who actually enjoy Protein Shakes and have liked the whole shakes for weight loss for years even before my band. I've always loved Slim Fast and if I hadn't had one in awhile I'd buy them because I missed them. Crazy, I know!!

Let me know how you like the Syntrax, I want to get some samples of that too.

Also, great idea on the poll... who's up for a little debate? LOL (of all the things to debate about!!)

I will definitely try these as I am running out of my favorite Atkin's shakes. They all are really an acquired taste. I am the same, Day Dreamer. I love the shakes just for breakfast and a snack between classes and work.

I was drinking the low carb slim fast shakes early on in my journey and during pre-op stage. they are good and are tolerable. i would put them in a blender with ice to make it shake like. only thing i didn't like is that i had to order them online. there aren't any stores here that carry the low carb type.

      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... :(
