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

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
