who would have quessed (protein shake)



Recommended Posts

i went to Walmart today, and decided i should start testing out the different Protein shakes (can be found in the pharmacy section). I decided to go ahead and try the equate cheapo shake first, because i assumed it would taste yucky, so i just wanted to try it and get it out of the way, and just work up to the more expensive stuff. I got the equate plus chocolate. It has 13g of Protein per 8oz can and is lactose free.

To my surprise it was VERY GOOD. It tastes much better then the carnation shakes. So for those of you out there struggling to find something they like, i'd actually recommend it.

Just a word of warning. The equate plus nuritional suppliment is high in carbs , but they do have a diet shake thats low in carbs, but its a little lower in Protein (10 vs 13) so trying the diet shake vs the nutritional suppliment with some Protein Powder might be a better oprion for those who are watching their carbs.

I have been using the Advant Edge Carb Control shakes. 11 oz has 100 calories and 15 Grams of protien and only 1Gram of impact carbs.

I put it in my blender with 10 or so ice cubes and it becomes a thick, eat with a spoon treat....almost like a milk shake but legal!

I've tried the french vanilla, chocolate fudge and the strawberry and they are all tasty.

Hope that helps a little!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
