TonyaMac 93 Posted April 19, 2013 Is this going to be an ok brand for me to stick with? I really like the flavor. I mis it with Soy milk for added protien. I added the link to the ingredient page because I couln't copy and paste http://visalus.com/sites/default/files/products/ingredients/web-prodpanel-vishapepouch.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TonyaMac 93 Posted April 19, 2013 I'm taking my bag with me to my doc visit on may 8th. I have been doing the 2 shakes a day for almost 8 weeks and only lost 4 pounds. But my joints feel better. It was my last diet. My RA doc told me to try it and when it didn't work thats when he referred me to a bariatric surgeon for the sleeve (or RNY) I wont know till may 8th which way they want to go. I'm going to push for the sleeve because I tend to eat vegan (allergic to poultry). I'm terrified of dumping with the RNY. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newoutlookonlife 46 Posted April 19, 2013 I used to drink visalus twice a day prior to the sleeve with no weight loss results. I did like the taste of them though. When i compare it to what I drink now the major difference is the amount of Protein. The calories and carbs are okay but the protein really isn't that high. Even though the proton I drink now doesn't taste as good I find it more filling and able to sustain me longer so I am sticking to it. Price comparison it's terribly expensive for the amount of protein you do get per shake. Just some food for thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I shop at Sam's alot- I'm going to check out their prices and brands as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zozo 1 Posted April 19, 2013 I am wondering which GNC shake is better Help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newoutlookonlife 46 Posted April 19, 2013 I was paying 70 dollars per bag which would last one month if I had one shake a day through visalus. Now I buy north cost natural unflavoured Protein and its 30 dollars for one month supply and has 25 grams of protein per scoop. The only problem for me is I don't like the north coast natural brand with Water so I drink it with milk and I feel. Like I am kind of wasting my carbs on the milk so I have been searching for another brand myself. You can get the even cheaper if you can stomach brands like isofemme etc. I was in GNC yesterday and the sales guy told me that promasil was a top seller and had zero carbs. It's 50 dollars for the container though but it is a pretty big container. I was going to try and find a sample of it first even though you have 30 days to return it if you don't like it. I have a hard time finding one that I don't get sick of quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShariM735 189 Posted April 19, 2013 Thanks for the info newoutlookonlife. I think I'll avoid ViSalus. I want the most Protein I can get. Sent from my iPhone using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
