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

      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.
