Has anyone tried Slim Fast Low Carb Shakes



Recommended Posts

I agree - sometimes you need to add to the shakes to give them a flavor boost. I have added SF dry pudding mix or Crystal Light to change up the taste. I personally enjoy Slim Fast and Atkins shakes. I have used the shakes on and off for years to lose weight. Actually, the Atkins ones are so tasty I drink the Cafe Latte for Breakfast and I am not even on a pre op diet :) I got my shipment of Syntrex Protein Nectars - the variety sample pack - and some of the flavors are wild!!! I just hope they taste as good as they sound.

One thing I have noticed is that every person has very different taste. I seem to like more of the Protein drinks than other people. But I have always been big into SF products so the after-taste doesn't even register anymore. This may or may not change post op :eek: Best to buy sample size and do a test run than to sink tons of money into drinks you may or may not like.

I bet if you took a poll on who likes this brand Protein Drink vs that brand.. it would be split evenly.

Agreed, I'm one of the few who actually enjoy Protein Shakes and have liked the whole shakes for weight loss for years even before my band. I've always loved Slim Fast and if I hadn't had one in awhile I'd buy them because I missed them. Crazy, I know!!

Let me know how you like the Syntrax, I want to get some samples of that too.

Also, great idea on the poll... who's up for a little debate? LOL (of all the things to debate about!!)

I will definitely try these as I am running out of my favorite Atkin's shakes. They all are really an acquired taste. I am the same, Day Dreamer. I love the shakes just for breakfast and a snack between classes and work.

I was drinking the low carb slim fast shakes early on in my journey and during pre-op stage. they are good and are tolerable. i would put them in a blender with ice to make it shake like. only thing i didn't like is that i had to order them online. there aren't any stores here that carry the low carb type.

      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.
