Does anyone use this product? I have been using it because I like the way it tastes. I am trying to figure out if anyone that has gone through VSG has used this product for 3-6 months or longer?

Thanks!

I've never heard of it. I read a lot of WLS boards and I have never heard anyone even mention it before.

I live south of Dallas and these shakes are very popular. I tried them just to get something easy for breakfasts. They taste good but @ 12 grams of Protein, they may need Protein supplementation.

I have not been sleeved, just used them for weight loss.

I checked into it and they are soy Protein. I know WLS patients are supposed to stick to whey protein. Since my surgery I have become lactose intolerant. I have issues with whey and how I digest it, so the soy is a better choice for me personally. I am mixing them with Lactaid milk to get a bit of a protein boost. Almond milk tastes pretty yucky to me after surgery (and I LOVED it before) so that isn't much of an option for me. I do one shake in the morning with instant coffee and milk and I do one with fruit or cocoa powder and milk as a dessert before I go to bed. Thanks for your comments!

I mix my Breakfast shake with almond milk. I had not used almond milk before, and I find that I really like it. Sometimes I'll mix in sugar-free Syrup. It's really good also. I want to try the coffee shake mix. It sounds good.

You are doing great HDubsleevery!!

Do you mean Click? I LOVE coffee and for some reason I didn't like the Click (even though I was sure I would). You can buy sample packs on their website. I am glad I bought samples before I spent money on a whole canister. I buy the Starbucks Via. I get the kind that is made for cold drinks. I put a half a packet, a couple of splenda packets, a scope of Protein powder and 12-16 ounces of Lactaide milk. I blend it up and pour it over ice. I drink them a lot faster now than I did directly post-op.

Good luck with finding a shake you like!

I used it before my decision to get surgery and I could not get over the texture. But I was thinking about using it again after surg because of the Vitamins.< /p>
