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

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
