Lean Shakes From GNC



Recommended Posts

Does anyone else use these? They are one of the only kinds of shakes I can tolerate. I am perpetually stalled though and started to wonder whether the shakes are an issue. I am staying between 600-800 calories per day, less than 50 carbs per day, exercising 4-5x per week. And I've only lost five pounds in the last 5 weeks. It's discouraging. So I am trying to reevaluate. Thoughts?

I used these on my liquid diet and lost 16 lbs just in my liquid phase and I was drinking five of these a day mixed with skim milk. So maybe you're just on a stall.

My surgery was December 3 so I think I am 9 or 10 weeks out today. I got off to a good start but it slowed down at 2 weeks and just never really has taken off. Trying not to get discouraged. Sigh

Everyone loses weight differently. Some people lose pounds, some people lose inches. Check your measurements, I am sure there is some kind of change! I have a friend who lost two pounds but 3.5 inches off her waist alone. And if all else fails, drink liquids only for a few days & change up your workout routine. I hope this helps!

I was on Atkins shakes but it only had 16 grams of Protein . I was barely doing two a day. I just bought the lean shakes very excited it has 25 grams of Protein in one bottle ! Taste great

        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.

      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
