I was sleeved on 9-3. Are the Lean Shakes 25 from GNC ok? I'm drinking two Premier Protein shakes a day and want to up my protein a little and drink 1/2 a Lean Shake a day. I am getting some protein from my food intake. Thanks in advance.

I was drinking Premier too but after a few weeks I switched to Isopure Zero Carb (banana Creme, strawberry, Cookies and Cream, etc.). 12 oz. equals 210 calories, 0 carbs, 50 grams Protein. Order it OVER THE PHONE (tell them you would like a discount, they will give you a better discount than if you ordered on line). 3 lb big ol' jub is $44.99 but they should give you a $15.00 discount AND free shipping. You are going to UP your protein intake soon. You will need to be getting anywhere from 65 to 75 grams of protein a day.

DO NOT buy any specials they offer you on Vitamins. I ordered some with great deals and had to send them back because my doctor and NUT said that I will have to take chewable vitamins for the rest of my life now. If you can get the Bariatric Advantage CHEWABLES on sale, get that with the Vitamin D.

You just have to watch your carbs with Protein shakes. I have seen some pretty descents ones that like 30+ grams of protein and only 5 grams of carbs. After the 2 weeks of semi-liquid and week after surgery (sleeve on 09/11) I would rather try to chew my protein in the form of chicken or turkey than drink it but I still have a shake in the afternoons to make sure I am getting the minerals and vitimans.

ISOPURE from the Vitamin Shoppe has 40 g of protein per 20 oz bottle, no carbs, and no fat. Very satisfying and filling, I would recommend it without reservation until you can get all your protein from solids.
