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!

I'm with you Grandma9 Atkinis Advantage shakes are170 calories and 20g Protein and 2 impact carbs taste really good.

I'm going to try the ice cubes and make it a shake this weekend. Thanks

      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.
