NO - consuming more calories than you burn makes you gain weight...period. There are lots of things to take into consideration. What is your BMR, are you eating good calories that make you feel full and don't affect your blood sugar so you are starving later??? All of that goes into the equation, but the simple fact is 3500 calories = 1 lb. If you want to lose weight you have to create a caloric deficit.

After going off the liquid diet, I hardly ever drink Protein shakes b/c they don't stay with me. If I have one for Breakfast, I am starving by 9:30. Some people are different and like Protein Shakes or NEED them to make sure they are getting in enough calories and Protein.

If you are eating a normal diet and adding Protein Shakes, you might be eating too may calories which could cause weight gain...it is not the shakes...it is the calories that make you gain.

I think some do, but only temporarily. I used to get Advanced Protein shakes from costco. I really like the taste better than muscle milk, but I noticed that consistantly I gained a pound every day I would have one of these shakes. the pound would be gone within a day or so so I chalk it up to extra sodium.

We also regularly make shakes. I have to be really careful of what we put in it. I use ff frozen yogurt and low fat Peanut Butter. I've seen some smoothie king shakes that are over 1,700 calories so you must make sure you aren't drinking a high calorie meal.

I think it can depend on the type of Protein Shake as well. I know my doctor explained to stay away from shakes that had higher carbs/calories.

As someone already said, Protein shakes don't make you gain weight...eating too many calories does.

I drink EAS shakes because they're low calorie and low carb and high Protein. I usually drink one for Breakfast and make it with 2% milk and half a banana. The rest of the time (mid-meals and one in the evening), it's just the shake made with Water or the readymade.

For me, the shakes are a way of getting the protein and calories I need, particularly since I'm not eating a lot since my last fill.

My surgeon doesn't want me consuming Protein shakes, or any liquids with calories. He wants me to get my calories from solid foods that will satisfy me longer than liquids.< /p>

Protein Shakes will go right through the band, and some contain a lot of calories. You need to take that into consideration.
