Hello All! I am trying to drink Slim Fast to jump start my weight loss until the Nutritionist provides info on the liquid diet, protein shakes, etc, but OMG I just opened one and it is HORRID!

Does anyone know if the Protein Shakes (that seems to be a way of life post surgery) taste anything like a Slim Fast shake? I even put it in the freezer to make it slushy, but it is gross. And for lunch I have caramel rice cakes and unsalted almonds for a snack. I fear by 5 pm, I will go running to the closest McDonalds for a Big Mac and fries.

OMG, this is going to be a lot harder than I expected. I want to lose weight and do well so badly, that I thought the liquid diet/protein shakes and decreased amount of food would be easy to deal with, but I'm worried now. Ughhhh

I'm only 3 weeks post op but I drink Adkins shakes & they aren't that bad especially the strawberry. I know a lot of people drink powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury but ive never tried them.

Once u have surgery, it takes all the margin for error out of the equation. You have no option but to eat small portions. I still have cravings but it doesnt lead to cheating. (Like b4 surgery lol)

It'll b fine

I'm four weeks post op. Did your surgeon give you a specific pre-op diet? Mine didn't make me do the liquid diet prior to surgery so I just ate healthier and didn't starve myself. Protein shakes are pretty unpleasant so I wouldn't subject myself to them if not required...

I'm trying a little bit of all of them... adkins is good... Bariatric is good. Still experimenting

Premier is awesome and unlike slimfast it is low carb

Back in the day when i had slim fast, I drank the ones that were already made like the creamy strawberry and it was really good OR If you go to any GNC they can help you find a nice protein drink/shake... I used Isopure creamy vanilla and that wasn't so bad... but after surgery I did not like it at all. (taste buds changed) My surgeon had me on 2 shakes and a sensible dinner. in GNC they also have protein bars that can help when you are hungry as a snack.
