If you're talking about the GNC Lean 25 Protein shakes, I love 'em. I've been using them since pre-op. Hubby also loves them and has been having them for Breakfast now for months.

I love that they have 25 grams of Protein and only 170 cals.

If you're talking about something else, sorry ... I don't know about any other "lean shakes."

They are gross. They are super sweet with almost a syrupy consistency. The ready made have a lot of Fluid ounces for you to get the Protein in them, which makes them bad for after surgery when you can drink less at a time.

Look around for higher quality cold processed Proteins. powders are always better than ready mades because they have less junk in them to keep them shelf stable.They have to do a lot to pre-mades to keep them shelf stable.

You don't get that many calories, make sure they are the highest quality.

      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.
