The Slimfast low carb shakes are usually with the other Slimfast shakes, but they have a blue ribbon at the top that says that they have "20 grams of Protein and 2 net carbs for low carb diets"! Thy are the same size and packaging as the others.

Slim fast is a Meal Replacement shake. What we need is a Protein supplement. Meal replacement shakes are designed to to have a much higher caloric & carb density in comparison to protein supplements which are designed to deliver maximum proteinase efficiently as possible.

I find it so odd that here in France the nut doesn't ask that I use Protein Shakes. They are having me eat all real foods. Does the NUTS in the states say you can have Protein shakes? Can anyone send me their post op diets? Thanks

I personally am using them for Meal Replacements. I couldn't get my calories in if I didn't have them. But these are low carb Slimfast, which are specifically for low carb diets. They have 20 grams of protein and only 2 net carbs.

You can go to the pharmacy and get a Protein Shake drink. Just add slim milk

and some Water and ice in a blender.

      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... :(
