Holy cow...this stuff is nasty



Recommended Posts

Sooooooo....anyone in Canada know of a decent tasting ready made Protein shake that is low carb? I looked online at the Slimfast optima and they have 20g Carbs..yikes!!

I'm trying to choke back the stuff I have and who knew that eating liquid chalk could result in a 3lb loss in 3 days and it's my time of the month!

I was just wondering if anyone lucked into finding a ready made that isn't nasty. Thanks all.

Mysherrijo and salljo -I did look for the Atkins at the Superstore and didn't see it and I've never seen Isopure anywhere...where did you buy yours?

Funny: any particular flavor that you prefer over the others?

Drewslou and Moorless: Where did you buy the advant?

Yoda: The only reason I was going to try ready made was because both of the ones I bought were sooooo chalky and I thought the cans would be smoother going down. I really didn't want the pre op to be a 300.00 experience on it's own but geeez...I may have to actually waste 3/4 of a can of two different kinds. DH even tried to get creative and add a crystal light package to the vanilla....Hola...God love him...but that was a definite no.

Anyways I shall go on a hunt for something else to try....thanks all for the suggestions.

I did the ready to drink (RTD) 90 calorie, 10 grams of Protein Shakes from Medifast and still have some in the house for fill days. You get them online.

A word of caution about the Isopure. (It can be found at GNC, by the way), Although the FLAVORS were O.K., they always seemed to leave a funny film in my mouth kind of like it was sucking all the liquid out of my mucous membranes. It was weird and it made me not want to drink it unless I ABSOLUTELY had to.

If I had to have a ready made Protein drink, the Boost drinks are O.K. in a pinch. Both the regular Boost (not plus, which is yucky) and the Boost breeze (fruity) are tasty and come in several flavors.

I also liked the SF Carnation Instant Breakfast drinks. They were probably the most tasty to me even though they may not have had quite as much Protein as Boost.

Myoplex by EAS has 42 grams of Protein and tastes good. It has 23 grams of carbs but that's not bad considering the 42 grams of protein. You can get them at Walmarts and GNC. The website has free shipping on orders over $75.

        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!

      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
