Try the Myoplex EAS carb smart. They really are good and they have less carbs than most shakes. I get them from BJ's in bulk. There is a drawer in my fridge full of them since the hub and I both drink 1 a day.

Also, Slim Fast High Protein doesn't have a lot of carbs, but I know a lot of men (my hubs) will not be seen with a slim fast anything.

First, Vitamin Shoppe > GNC. Second, there are lots of great options. I am currently using Gaspari Myofusion, 25g Protein 5g Carbs per scoop. I have the chocolate & the Peanut Butter cookie dough. chocolate is really good, PB is eh. If you are a Peanut Butter fan while you are there pick up a jar of powdered peanut butter, throw a spoon of that in either and it is excellent. It is also low carb and I think 1g of fat.

Oh yea, Myofusion is about $40 for 2lb jug which is about 24 scoops.

right before i started my pre op, i went and bought one and it was like 36 dollars

and hub i thought would spazz...so he took the label off of it, and the nutritionist guidelines and off to Walmart he went and found the whey extreme and matched ingredients (and i checked with dr) and i have used this for 8 months...the only flavor i didnt like was pnut butter..to sweet for me. but mixed w/chocolate, it is good.

      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.
