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.

      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.

        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!
