I just checked out the advocare Meal Replacements and they have WAY to much sugar for me. A 1:1 ratio of carb to Protein is not a good profile IMO. Unless you're working out heavily or training for a marathon and need the carbs, that 12g of sugar in the advocare is a waste of useless calories you don't need. Plus the Calcium casseinate they use is not nearly as absorbable as whey.

I use Syntrax nectar, Premier, Quest, Bodytech, and powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. All of them have 20-30g protein and just 0-5g carbs

I actually do Camp Gladiator boot camp so I am a little concerned post surgery and post lifetime of getting enough to eat with the amount of exertion I put out 3-4 times a week.

Well then, yeah, that many carbs may be just the ticket for you since you are burning them off. But for a lot of more sedentary WLS patients, including myself, (I usually log 12,000 - 20,000 steps/day but no gym time) it might not be the best choice. Good luck with everything!

Thanks! Yeah, my highest calorie burn in 60 mins was 1127. Gotta fuel that for sure! Lol

I use boost for diabetics. It has barely any sugar, 16 grams of Protein and chocolate flavour. Very useful for when you are in a hurry in the mornings since I am used to skipping breakfast..For my shakes, I use a spoonful of frozen yogurt with milk and some frozen fruit.

English is my 6th language so forgive me if my sentences don't make any sense at times!
