So I know a lot of people have their opinions on slim fast but I was given the ok to drink the slim fast that is high Protein (20g) !!! It's soooooo much better than most Protein Drinks and it also has 2g of sugar and 4g of carb! Perfect!! Does anybody else drink these???

I've not heard of bariatric patients using Slim Fast. But if your bariatric medical team has ok'd it, then it must be ok for you. My concern would just be to make sure that the Slim Fast is of the same high quality Protein and provides the same nutrients as the more common bariatric Proteins we most often use like Premier Protein, powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury, Syntrax, etc.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to look at it the next time I'm at the store!

I'm scared too! Lol but I know it's for weight loss, but I do knkw that we need the Protein to gain muscle or prevent muscle loss etc but now I'm concerned....here's a picture of the ones I'm talking about!

Just to give you something to compare it to - my ready made premiere Protein Drink has 30 grams of Protein, 1 gram sugar and only 160 calories for 11oz. The slim fast mix already has 180 calories. If you mix milk with it, you're adding in another 100 plus calories in. You could add Water, but it may not taste as good.

I love the high Protein Slim Fast! By far the best drink ever. My surgeon said they are fine as long as it's the high Protein One.

The high Protein Slim Fast was one of my options on my pre-op diet. It is definitely better tasting than some of the others!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
