I haven't tried that one yet.. but my nut told me that it had to have at least 20gms of Protein no more than 10 carbs and no more than 5 gm from fat.. the only Protein Shake that i found to fit this criteria so far is the "pure protein" and it doesn't taste bad at all... but i'm a newbie too so let me know if there is something i don't know.. :rolleyes:

Thanks! Yeah my NUT said less than 5 grams of carbs and 20-30g protein...finding something that low in carbs has been a little difficult but this brand has no carbs, no fat and 30g Protein ( and it comes in fun flavors like birthday cake!)

I saw it on GNCs website. It was like $30-40. I haven't actually been into a GNC yet bc I've heard they are very expensive :-(

That's funny - I'm drinking their chocolate Peanut Butter flavor right now. Here is their website: http://tryabouttime.com/ They have an inexpensive sample pack that they sent quickly.

Does anyone know... Is Protein powder different from the meal replacement shakes?

Yes, meal replacement shakes are higher calorie, they are designed to replace the full spectrum of nutrients & many are designed to help one to gain weight. Protein Shakes are designed to delive large amounts of Protein in the least amount of calories/carbs.

The best Protein Shake I have had is the Premier Protein. chocolate. The vanilia is also good. They have 30 g of Protein. I get them at Sam's!

I have to agree the Premier Protein chocolate is the best I just tried it a few days ago I can only find it at Sam's club. After struggling with all the different shakes out there that I was wasting my money on and didn't enjoy them Premier is definitely the best

      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.
