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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
