Low Carb/atkins Shakes?



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I have been banded since 3/7/09 and have always semi-watched my carb intake. I also suffer from PCOS and being carb free really helps that.

I used to have Tescos own Low Carb shakes (you know like Slim Fast) but they have stopped doing them, so it seems has every supermarket and they have also stopped the actual Atkins shakes. I'm lost without them in the mornings!

Does anyone know where I can get some from please? Have you seen them in some random shop?

Please help me...... :o)

Google Body by Vi - made by Visalis. My LB surgeon used to use Ungery but changed to this product. I was skeptical, but it tastes fabulous and can e mixed into wonderful shakes with many different recipes. HOWEVER, it would be less expensive ordering from Amazon.com to save $20 s/h and taxes. I ordered the shape up kit for $99 that lasts for a month - having 2

drinks a day, a meal, and two reasonable Snacks. I LOVE it! The powder smells like came mix and tastes wonderful - not like a nasty Vitamin drink. And, NO, I'm not a distributor or make money from it in ANY way - just a happy user!

Body fortress whey powder that Walmart sells is low on carbs. 1 scoop is 4g of carb but it yields 26g of Protein. Depending on how low your daily carb count is you can do Simply Smart milk and 1 scoop of powder and blend with a little ice ends up 17g carb but a nice number of 36g of protein. I know 17g can be a lot especially if your doing Atkins induction.

      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.
