Slim fast

[brittnielynn 10]

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!
