New and needing Protein Shake HELP!!!



Recommended Posts

I'm getting ready to start my pre-op, my DR. told me to just try slim fast low carb, it has 17 g of protien and only 4 carbs, i couldn't find it in the store so I ordered it off line it only took 2 days to get here and was about $6.00 a 4 pack.

I also drink Slim Fast Low Carb. I only like the chocolate and it has 20g of Protein and 2 carbs. I have found it in Walmart in the pharmacy section, they will often have two different aisles with slim-fast. I've found the Low Carb on the aisle with the Vitamins, weight loss medication and appetite suppressants. It's rather expensive at $6.99 for 4. I normally buy it at Sam's $18 for 15 cans. I hope they never stop making it. It's the only Protein supplement I can drink. I have a problem with textures...can't do powders, added fruits, etc.

I got Protein from our local fitness store. It has 23g and is very reasonable. It taste pretty good. I bought one at Wal-Mart that was to sweet. I didn't like it, but I am finishing it so it won't be wasted.

The Magic Bullet is a mini blender. It is a wonderdully convenient and easy to use system. You can blend up an individual sized Protein shake- blend it up and drink it from the same cup. It comes with 2 different syle blades- one better for ice and another one good for blending up just about anything. It also comes with different sized cups you can use for different occasions. I absolutely LOVE mine.

Hi Megan,

I've been on Protein shakes off and on for years before I got my band. The best tasting, and best balanced nutritionally that I have found is HMR. I only order the vanilla, because I make that any flavor I want with sugar free Italian syrups. But Every product I have tried from this company has been outstanding. Go to: HMR, Health Management Resources | Hackley Health Management

Even though I'm well past my liquid diet phase, I have the same delicious Protein Shake for Breakfast every morning: 1 can of Slimfast Optima French vanilla (Low Carb); 1 banana; three heaping tablespoons of whey Protein powder; two tablespoons of powdered Peanut Butter, and this is key: one large pinch of coarse salt. I keep the blender container and banana in the freezer, and put the SFO in the freezer about half an hour before I'm going to make it - this way I get an icy cold shake with the density of a soda fountain shake. It's DELICIOUS.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
