Has anyone tried Visalus Protien shakes?



Recommended Posts

has anyone tried the Visalus protien shakes. I have been taking them for a bout a month and they are REALLY good. Mixed with soy milk and 1tsp coffee and ice tastes just like a frappacino from starbucks. I drank them twice a day for the 2 weeks before my suregery and lost 8lbs and then have been drinking them - much smaller portions though- since my surgery last week and I've lost another 8 lbs since my surgery.

I did. It is the most disgusting thing I have ever drank. So bland and bitter I don't know how anyone would have the nerve to even take them.

Yes it is MLM and it's not that it's bad that it is an MLM business, but if you're going to be in that kind of business your products should be top notch and easy to take. First the shakes, with or without flavors, they're HORRIBLE! Another thing are the products to take for the Transformation pack. You have to take 10 separate products! I don't mind taking a few but I'm not a pill popper or human disposal for products. Definately NOT worth the money nor the results you probably get out of it.

I have tried them and I like them. I mix them with fruits and they taste really good.

me too. I'm not crazy about them when I have mixed them with Water, yogurt or skim milk, but the key for me is mixing it with soy milk - very vanilla or chocolate are my favorites. They are really good that way!

I use the almond milk or a fruited yogurt and just a little ice to make them cold.

Yes, they are AWESOME!!!!!

Try 8 Oz Almond Milk,

2 Scoops of Body By Vi powder

1 teaspoon of cinnamon

1 Tablespoon of Honey

6 ice cubes and blend

SNICKERDOODLE...is it so good...no aftertaste or grit...this is my 2'nd week on them.

Also, the BUTTERFINGER

8 Oz Almond Milk

2 Teaspoons of Instant sugar free butterscotch pudding mix (dry)

1 Tablesspoon of Reduced Fat Peanut Butter

6 ice cubes

It is really the only Protein shake I have found that I like....I did the muscle milk that first two weeks post op and now if I even see in in the isle at Wal-mart I want to puke!!! Ha Ha

The girl I bought it from gave me 5 or 6 pages of recipes....I have liked all that I have tried so far.

Good Luck!!

Any shake over the counter can be good if you mix up all the recipes mentioned. Drink Visalus straight wit milk without anything and it's the most disgusting thing on the market. Visalus products is basically overpriced hype. There's really substance to their claim.

I'm just saying I like them. If you don't that is OK. For me it is the only one I have tried that I liked. Believe me, when your starting weight was 357 you have tried your share of shakes over the years. LOL

Good luck!

I tried them and they do taste good but IMO, they don't have enough Protein in them for a Lap Band patient. My other problem with them is they are soy protein. I have thyroid problems and I was told by my doctors to steer clear of soy and use whey protein instead.

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
