Slim Fast Shakes



Recommended Posts

I've heard from some people that they are drinking slim fast shakes as their Protein Shake. SF shakes have 10g of Protein and at my last nutrition appt, the nutritionist said we'd need at least 24g of protein per scoop of powder. For those who are drinking the SF shakes, how do you make up the protein that's necessary per meal? (before surgery and liquid stage post surgery)

It would be in your best interest to stick to Protein Drinks and avoid Slim Fast, Ensure, etc. :)

Slim Fast Low Carb has 20g of Protein and the vanilla creme is good.

I like that too. Some Protein drinks don't even have that much. Like nectar for example.

There is an Ensure high Protein Drink out. It has 25 grams of Protein the downside of it is it has a couple extra grams of sugar than the docs prefer and it is also 14 oz.

If you can find an immersion blender (there are a bunch on ebay) they mix Protein Powder to the consistency of a milkshake (almost) and make them much more

palatable. A little fruit helps too.

Thanks. We actually do have one and i never thought to use it for the Protein shake!!

I'm also looking into purchasing the magic bullet if it's not too pricey.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
