Has anyone tried The Bariatric Advantage High Protein Meal Replacement shakes? Anyone have a favorite flavor??

Im really picky and too sweet or too chalky makes me puke or gag.

Anyone have a recommendation on another brand?

Corinne,

My favorite Protein shake is Myoplex Carb Control; it has 25 grams of Protein and only 3 net carbs. I buy the already mixed shakes (11.2 oz) and only buy chocolate Fudge. I get them at my local GNC health food store (our grocery stores don't carry the Carb Control), but you can also order them online--I can just get them a bit cheaper at GNC. You should give these a try, I highly recommend them:thumbup:

Believe me when I say I have tried them all!

Here is my favorite and actually almost look forward to it

1 Packet sugar free Carnation Instant Breakfast I use Milk chocolate (60 calories 5 grams protein)

3 Scoops Beneprotein (75 calories 18 grams protein)

1 Cup Calorie Countdown milk alternative (45 calories and 9 grams of protein)

Mix in the Blender and ENJOY!

Muscle Milk Light vanilla creme or banana creme mixed with milk, frozen strawberries, and splenda. I despise everything else I've ever tried.

I buy the bottled Carnation Instant Breakfast Lite. I tried a couple others and the EAS made me naseauos. The CIB is worth the cost to me, it fills me up, satisfies the chocolate craving and meets the Protein requirements.

Most of the shakes are too sweet for me as well. I cannot stomach any of the vanilla or chocolate or strawberry shakes.< /p>

I can handle the Atkins Dark chocolate Royale (not as sweet) and the Mocha Latte. They have 15 g Protein, and 2 g sugar. They are not the highest Protein drinks out there, but definitely tolerable. Also, I will take the dark chocolate royale, put it in the blender with a half a banana, and some milk, and ice cubes and add in unflavored Protein. The unflavored does not bother me at all. I got the GNC brand unflavored. And, I try to put it in everything.

I'm definitely not a big Protein Powder, shake, etc. fan. I can't stand slimfast, for example. But I really do like the EAS Carb Smart chocolate fudge shake - and I'm not a big chocolate fan, either. Because it is a little too rich for me, I add a half cup 1% milk and a packet of Equal to it. It's what I have for breakfast just about every day. I haven't tried their vanilla, but I've made do with the rich dark chocolate when Walmart was out of the chocolate fudge. But it's even richer.

Hi! This is Coe. I had the Lap-Band surgery July 23, 2009.

I like the unjury shakes or the EAS (You can purchase

EAS from Wal Mart). Neither of the two are chalky, too

sweet, or gritty. Hint: chocolate is my favorite and you

can add a sugar-free fudgesicle to it to make it more like

a real "milkshake".

I don't like it at all- it is chalky and the flavor is not rich enough...more of a Vitamin taste to me. I have a two pound jar left over from my pre op diet. At the end of the pre op stage, I couldn't stand to look at or smell a Protein Drink and I haven't had one since.

I do need to get back on them for my Protein, though, so I might try one of the smoothie type drinks that the others suggested.

(I ony wish I had a blender at work so that I could add fruit!)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
