I don't, mostly because there is another ready made shake that packs 30grams of Protein, 1 gram of sugar and 160 calories. I then only use 1 per day and with the addition of my food I get to my Protein goal very easy.

In the end they cost less than Atkins brand and can be purchased in bulk packs from costco and Sam's. They come in 18 packs there.They are called Premier Protein. They have them in chocolate, strawberry creme and vanilla. The chocolate is my favorite. Because they are ready made, they don't have that nasty grit you get from powders and they actually taste great in comparison. If you want to give them a try they also carry them in 4 packs at Walmart and some Walgreens stores but of course they are not as inexpensive if you don't buy them in bulk. My surgeons office recommended them because I could not tolerate the protein powders at all.

I do think Atkins is not a bad choice based on their nutritional info, I just think you really get a good kick start with 30 grams if you have one first thing in the am.

Hopefully this makes sense, let me know if you have questions,

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
