Visalus Brand

Is this going to be an ok brand for me to stick with? I really like the flavor. I mis it with Soy milk for added protien.

I added the link to the ingredient page because I couln't copy and paste

I'm taking my bag with me to my doc visit on may 8th. I have been doing the 2 shakes a day for almost 8 weeks and only lost 4 pounds. But my joints feel better. It was my last diet. My RA doc told me to try it and when it didn't work thats when he referred me to a bariatric surgeon for the sleeve (or RNY) I wont know till may 8th which way they want to go. I'm going to push for the sleeve because I tend to eat vegan (allergic to poultry). I'm terrified of dumping with the RNY.

I used to drink visalus twice a day prior to the sleeve with no weight loss results. I did like the taste of them though. When i compare it to what I drink now the major difference is the amount of protein. The calories and carbs are okay but the protein really isn't that high. Even though the proton I drink now doesn't taste as good I find it more filling and able to sustain me longer so I am sticking to it. Price comparison it's terribly expensive for the amount of protein you do get per shake. Just some food for thought.

Good point. They do tend to be spendy. 116 for a month. I shop at Sam's alot- I'm going to check out their prices and brands as well

I was paying 70 dollars per bag which would last one month if I had one shake a day through visalus. Now I buy north cost natural unflavoured protein and its 30 dollars for one month supply and has 25 grams of protein per scoop. The only problem for me is I don't like the north coast natural brand with water so I drink it with milk and I feel. Like I am kind of wasting my carbs on the milk so I have been searching for another brand myself. You can get the even cheaper if you can stomach brands like isofemme etc.

I was in GNC yesterday and the sales guy told me that promasil was a top seller and had zero carbs. It's 50 dollars for the container though but it is a pretty big container. I was going to try and find a sample of it first even though you have 30 days to return it if you don't like it. I have a hard time finding one that I don't get sick of quickly.

I found protein "crips" and I am going to order some on payday. I was told they were good in a salad or wrap for that extra crunch and they have 28g protein
