I am new to the group and this process. I have my first dr visit this week and my first nut appt next week. Right now I always have an atkins low carb shake for breakfast. Didnt know if this is something I should continue or if I should switch to something else that I will continue to have in the future. It's 160 calories and 15 protein. Appreciate suggestions

I would like to know too. The mocha shake is my favorite! Although I would like to try the premier shakes that everyone talks about since they are higher in protein.

The Nutritionist will tell what they want you to have. The Atkins shake may be OK but maybe take one with you to the apt so they can read the nutrition label.

This might depend on your individual Doctor/Nut, but my hospital had specific guidelines for carbs, fat and Protein. A lot of people use Premier because they are low in fat, carbs and high in protein. And are decent tasting.

My nut had several items out for examples. One was the Adkins, also the Slimfast high protein.

Brands ready made that I like are Oh Yeah all flavors, Pure Protein all flavors, EAS Advantage--- the kind you make yourself I have always used Designer whey Protein- chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and White Chocolate. You can use the vanilla for so many different recipes and you can also get Davinici or Torani sugar free syrups and make your own flavors.

These are all high-proten & low carb.

I use Premier Protein and Bariatric Advantage High protien Meal Replacements. Both are delicious.

I've found them at Kroger, Walmart, SAMs, and Costco

On thanks ????
