Does anyone know if the total lean shakes from GNC are safe to drink?

This is my 4th day post op and have to start my protien today.

Check the label on the nutritional content and post here if you want. I haven't heard of them, but there's a huuuuge variety in the protein shake market

Does anyone know if the total lean shakes from GNC are safe to drink?

Well the true is that I am researching Protein shakes right now. I went and look for the GNC total lean and I read a lot of reviews that it actually taste good, but the only problem I see is that it has 180 calories and about 30 grams of carbohadrites. Which according to my doctor recomendations is not good. I need a protein with no. More than 5 grams of carbohydrates. And I would like something with less calories.

So I am going to try the isofemme by allmax nutrition. It has 120 calories and 3 g of carbohydrates. And 25 g of protein is perfect just what I need.

I use Premier Protein (chocolate flavor). It contians 30g protein, 160 calories and is low fat. I drank this pre-surg and continue to drink it. I really enjoy the taste

The Total Lean Shakes from GNC that are already mixed taste really good, especially the swiss chocolate. I am drinking them as a part of my 3 day liquid diet. Not only does it have 25 grams of proten but it is packed with 24 vitamins & minerals, lactose free and is 170 calories. The only issue I have encountered is gas...But it doesn make me really full. So I guess I will have to see how it works after surgery. I put the bottle in the freezer, let it get slushy and I was good to go. I have surgery Tuesday, I will let you know how I do after my surgery.

They are but they are so yucky. Well to me they are. I tried the already made shake from gnu fridge and it was okay. I have two big containers one French vanilla the other banana and I have not used it. But you might like it. I've tried a few more like Isopure, premier and some other ones and they did not help. But everyone's different. Ask for a sample before you buy them. Good luck!

I buy the Dynmatize Elite brand from The Vitamin Shoppe online. Love the cafe mocha flavor.

I am 4 days post op and I cant stomach the protein shakes anymore. I`ve tried several different flavors and brands and spent over 200.00 bucks trying to find something I can tolerate but havent no luck. I manage thru the 2 weeks liquid protein diet prior to surgery but I can not stomach it anymore. The smell of the protein powder makes me gag!! I know how important it is to get my protein in but I feel like its hopeless amd need HELP please!!!

Have you tried soy Protein or egg protein? They are acceptable solutions. Did you try a sample of one of the unflavored protein powders mixed in a broth? You might find it more palatable in something savory like that.

Made with crqnberry protein, pea protein and hemp protein.

I am the same exact way. 8 days post op and have yet to find a protein that will allow me to get the recommended amount in. I am currently only able to choke down about half of what I am suppose to. The best I have found is the Premier Protein so far. The smell is also what gets me. It's not so much the taste, but you can smell it the entire time you drink it and it makes me gag also. I'm just hanging in there and getting as much as I can in.

30g carbs is pretty high.
