Hi,
Out of all these shakes in the picture which ones do you recommend? I am currently drinking Slim Fast vanilla cream and I CAN’T tolerate it. Please help. Going to get samples from my nutritionist.

None of them. Honestly, I am living for Premier Protein shakes (premade ones). You can get them at Walmart or Sam's Club, and the they are awesome. 30g of Protein, 5g of carbs, only 1g of sugar and they taste great! Especially the chocolate and the caramel!

I very scientifically bought and tasted about 10 different products...had my family taste them, too.:D

Premier Protein, hands down, was the most tolerable (to us, anywho)

Some were truly gagworthy.

Best Wishes!

I love Premier Protein. They have it at Walmart but the costco price is better. More flavors

Actually, I did a comparison between costco and Sam's Club and Sam's is cheaper per drink. But, Costco is cheaper than Walmart, interestingly enough...

Sam's Club - $16.66/12 = $1.39 each

Costco - $28.99/18 = $1.61 each

Walmart - $7.99/4 = $2.00 each

These prices are non-sale prices pulled today from their websites.

My favorite is the chocolate Premier Protein Shake...

If you do caramel you can get them on Amazon cheap. Free shipping with prime:)

https://www.amazon.com/Premier-Protein-Shake-Caramel-Count/dp/B01LNQ2STK/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1532532156&sr=8-3&keywords=premier%2Bprotein%2Bshake&th=1

$16.66/12.....just like Sam's, but no membership fee. $1.39 each

And delivered to your door, to boot!

(Am still hooked on these as Creamer in my coffee every morning......I dump about a third of a shake in a giant mug of coffee and get 10g or Protein right outta the gate)

Thank you all! I wonder why she doesn’t have Premier Protein as an option. She wrote 20g of Protein and 20g of carbohydrates. I will ask if that’s an okay option. I want to gag every time I drink the slimfast. Not gonna happen.

I looked into the ones sold on Amazon but after looking at the feedback on how some of them arrive, I chose to buy them locally. There are photos of people's orders showing up with shakes broken inside the boxes, shakes expired, and shakes being rotten while not yet expired. The local stores always have a fresh stock, so I'll stick to shopping for them there. Amazon is great for some things, but I try not to buy anything that is liquid from them.

#1 - Premier Protein. Tied at #2 -Isopure ready-made blue raspberry or Jay Robb Dreamsicle or strawberry - Those are the only ones I could stand.

It does say on there use a shake of your own choosing. Those are all powders and not RTD drinks.

It's fine as recommendations but honestly what Protein Powder you use doesn't matter, as long as the macros aren't ****

Does anybody have a picture of the nutrition facts on Premier Protein? Because I need to see how many carbs are in it. Just because it says 1g isn’t true because that’s the “Net”.

Nutritionist told me that Isopure is 0 carbs and I can't drink it. I inquired about it because I wanted something I can drink like a juice instead of a nasty shake. She told me no-go.

I just went to go see her to get some samples of other shakes. She suggested that I take instant coffee and mix it into the shakes since I love coffee. She said it'll kill the taste of the shake.

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
