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

      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.
