I use Worldwide Protein shakes. They are available at Trader Joe (chocolate and vanilla only, 21g Protein $1.69 each, 35g $2.29), The Vitamin Shoppe (35 g only in all flavors--Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, banana Cream, Cookies n' Cream--$2.79 each, $27.99 for a 12 pack--available online also), and GNC (35g only in vanilla and Chocolate $2.99 each--other flavors available online). I drink one every weekday in the morning, and sometimes on the weekend too. Sometimes I make a smoothie instead.

They have about 4 carbs, 160-170 calories, only 1g sugar, 1g Fiber, and 1g fat.

I use the Slimfast, low carb, in chocolate. I like them because they're easy, really good chilled and I can drink one on my way home from work to hold me over until dinner time. Every once in a while I through in a South Beach Protein Bar instead of a shake.< /p>

Any good Protein shake should have at least 15 grams of Protein, should be under 200 calories per 12 ounces, and should have less than 20 grams of carbs. It should also have 25% of the daily recommended amount in:

Vitamin A

Calcium

Vitamin D

Vitamin K

Vitamin B6, Vitamin C

Iron

Vitamin E

I get my Protein shakes from costco. They have 30 grams of protein, they are 160 calories and have 5 grams of carbs along with all the major nutrients. They are also less expensive than going to the grocery store or GNC. (They cost $28 for a pack of 24) They also taste great. I have done a lot of research about this and have talked to Nutritionists about this.

Your body needs to consume at least 60 grams of protein, about 80 grams of carbs and about 1200 calories a day to survive. If you work out, you need more. Consider than when buying your Protein Shakes. Good luck and read the label!

Right now I am into the Atkins dark chocolate with two tablespoons of Peanut Butter blended into it.

cool! i never heard of blending PB with a chocolate shake! Guess whats for breakfast tomorrow!

I prefer the Atkins Advantage shakes. I buy them online, so i get the Mocha Latte and Caramel ones, and they also have a bit of coffee in them.

      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.
