Yes, I've tried the Total Lean bottled shakes (4pk) in the strawberry & Cream flavor and really liked them. Only problem was that I bought a ton, and my taste buds changed after surgery. They were still good, just wish I had bought some different flavors to mix-it up a little.

My nutritionist approved this shake as well.

I really liked these, better than any other shake I tried and I tried A LOT! I drank them pre-op and post-op. Luckily I didnt buy too many but they were the only ones that didnt make me gag. Unfortunately I have lots of Premiere shakes sitting in my fridge. I thought I would be drinking them for a lot longer than I needed. Oh well, they are there for on-the-go meals. But yes, I dug the Lean Protein ones. vanilla was is favorite.

Would you guys say the Protein Powder is as good (healthy wise) as the ready to drink kind?

GNC will take them back with receipt.

Any product they sell that you don't like.

These are my favorite as well, I have to drink 2 a day to hit 90-100 grams of Protein a day. They have quite a few calories, but if the other things you are eating are lean you should be able to get 700 calories a day. My nutritionist approved them as well. :-). I am 5 weeks out.

The GNC Lean shakes were all I could tolerate right after my surgery as well. I still get them from time to time as a change. I am really hooked on Bariatric Advantages chocolate powder...27 grams of Protein per shake. Bariatric Advantage powder is a little expensive to me but its the only protein drink/shake that I truly like. This was the protein product that my surgeon recommended.

I decided to hold on to them, but thanks. Plus I have no idea where my receipt is. :(

      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.
