i have a question about protein shakes



Recommended Posts

thats what the weight loss center here told me to drink after surgery and now in between meals is the sugar free instant carnation with skim milk or 1% milk 8oz. i drink it in the morning and im not hungry until 3-4 hours later. as far as slimfast i had one today and it didnt really do anything. it has 20 grams of Protein and has 6grams of carbs and 190 calories. im not even sure if i should waist my time with them if they cant hold me over until dinner

Is the costco one a pre-mixed drink then? I'm so sick of mine that I could puke. I really need something different. I've liked most everything I've ever tried from COSTCO. Guess I'll make a trip out there.

I have found the EAS and Atkins at Walmart.< /p>

I do not like them nearly as much as the Carb Control Slimfast. The EAS/Atkins are very very thin and liquidy, the Slimfast Low Carb is thick and rich. That satisfies me much more than thin and runny. Also the flavor isn't as good as the Slimfast. But not everyone likes the same things.

      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.
