Of course a friend of mine has decided to become a beach body coach and I'm her new project! Just wondering if anyone has tried these and if they are good? I currently drink Premier Protein already made shakes in the morning as I don't get up early enough to make Breakfast. I am 4 months post lap band. I like the price and the taste of premier, but she is constantly pressuring me! It's just so much money so I was looking for an unbiased opinion!

I like shakeology....I feel like the all natural ingredients far outweigh the cost. Each coach will get basically $20ish on every person that buys a bag under them. I use to be a coach....but I stopped over a year ago and I still drink the shakeology at full price.

Ask for a sample first. I have many friends that sell it and it's an amazing product BUT - some WLS people can't physically tolerate them. Also, some of the flavors are really gross like their greenberry and chocolate, LOL. But IF you can tolerate it and like the taste, yes it's worth the money, I'd say.

I haven't tried them but just looked it up. I could be wrong but seems like alot of carbs to me. My optimum nutrition shakes have around d 2 or 3 grams of carbs and taste awesome.

      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.
