Protein Shakes - Is it just a american thing?

[Caroline4678 0]

Hi All,

Does anyone out there use Protein Shakes? I have 8ml in a 14ml band and not loosing a bean at the moment (Band put in 03/01/08). Reading through some of the thread's it appears that a lot of people use Protein Shakes....

Do any of you use protein shakes? What do they taste like? Do they work? What's the best one?

Thanks for any help anyone can give

I haven't had a fill yet but I use Optifast. I think it taste good and fills me up.

They're not really recommended like that in Australia. My surgeon told me to stay away from liquid calories like that.

I think they taste like sh*t anyway, lol. I'd far rather make a smoothie with milk, yogurt, a banana and a weetbix.

Oh, there's no recipe. I peel bananas and keep them in the freezer for this purpose, berries too.

Take the blender, wack in about 200ml skim milk, a big dollop of greek yogurt, the banana and a weetbix or some All Bran, a drop or two of vanilla essence if you like it. If its a meal, you can even put a raw egg in, seriously, you dont taste it.

Yummy. But much better with frozen fruit, rather than room temp.

Hi Dee,

Please could you let me know where I can get Optifast from in the UK.

I wish I knew. I got mine from my Dr. I did see some listed on eBay and there are other brands that are similar. I know some have used medifast which I believe you can order on line. Have a great day!

And there is a bunch of opti fast auctions on ebay. They seem high. I would ask your pharmacy or Dr. first. I love having the protien Soups and shakes for emergency use. For example, I went to work today and ended up getting stuck there longer then expected. I was starting to get very week and hungry. I had a shake with me and I had 1/2. It revived me and kept me going until a few minutes ago.

I wish it was that easy in the UK. Optifast etc are just not available here.
