Meal replacement shakes



Recommended Posts

Hi!!

Can someone recommend a good tasting Meal Replacement shake? Or maybe a sample pack that I can purchase? I start my pre-op diet on 4/23 and want to be prepared.

Thanks!!

During my pre op Diet they only allowed me no sugar added carnation Breakfast essentials. Very tasty and for$5 for 8 servings if u don't like it, you didn't break the bank.

I am also a fan of the nectar brand Protein. It is a isolate instead of a blend so u will absorb all of the Protein in it versus only some. It is a little pricier but if you buy it online you can usually find better deals, I just purchased the lemonade today for $35 for 2lbs.

At www.mybariatricpantry.com thru also have a sample pack. For $20 They will send u samples of 10 out of the 15 flavors they carry. My favorites are the lemonade strawberry mousse and double stuffed Oreo.

Coming from someone who had tried MANY brands, these are my favorite. I have been drinking At least one Protein shake a day for years Bcuz I knew I didn't take in enough thru my diet.

Hope this helps!

The nectar sampler pack is AWESOME!!! I love the Pink Grapefruit, Fuzzy Navel & Lemon Tea varieties. If you call Syntrax directly at 1-866-333-7403, the price is lower than at bariatricpantry. When you find out which ones you like, you might consider buying them at allstarhealth.com. The prices here are the best, especially if you order three, which then gets free shipping. I would like to try their Cappucino mix also - I've heard great things. I have drunk a nectar shake absolutely every day since my surgery. Sometimes I even blend flavors together.

I love Cafe Caramel Atkins Ready-to-Drink shakes. The are very filling because they have fat in them, too. I only drink one per day, for Breakfast, but it keeps me going until lunchtime. Wal-Mart has six-packs of these for $5.78 around Indianapolis where I live.

I also make one shake per day in my shaker-cup. I add 100% Gold vanilla Protein powder to Decaf instant coffee, a a fendw teaspoons of butterscotch SF pudding mix. (I've just ordered some Walden Farms caramel Syrup to try instead of the pudding mix, though). I heat this shake in the microwave after it's blended, and drink it in the evenings.

You'll hear this from lots of folks, but DON'T invest in much Protein pre-surgery. Your tastes are apt to change. I only drank the Atkins Mocha Latte shakes pre-op, but I couldn't stand them post-op and still can't stand anything chocolate flavored.

Best!

I like Unjury. They fill me up quite well. Muscle milk lite choc, tastes justs like chocolate milk but doesn't fill me up. I just ordered a sample pack of the Syntrax Nectars from Bjs bariatrics.

Fyi I am still pre surgery so my concept of full is different than someone post surgery.

Not investing toomuch pre surgery is a good tip, I've been buying lots of samples, for those reasons. You might not be able to tolerate some kinds

I've only ever drank the chocolate shakes and I can highly recommend Premier Protein chocolate. It is very good. I have only found them at Sam's Club - 12 for $18. I've heard some say they found them a Wal-Mart, but my local one doesn't stock them.

My fav are the physicians weight loss meal replacement shakes and bars. I actually lost 60 pounds doing that program before I gained it all back but got attached to the shakes I still to this day drink them. I love their chicken Soup too. They have pretty good food. Www.pwlc.com

      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.
