I'm a trange one who likes slimfast and all that stuff. I bought a tub(actually 3) of body fortress (2 van 1 choc)...made it to start day #1 on pre-op diet and I am having a hard time getting it down! I thought I'd love them.  Granted it did make it as is..no flavoring or anything. It's actually turning my stomach  PLEASE tell me it gets easier!!!!

Oh wow.  I haven't bought any tubs of anything yet.  My whole time on my pre-op diet I am using a sample pack I bought.  I am trying all the different brands and flavors that BariatricEating.com has, well pretty much has.   I have found  a few that I would like to buy and I am putting in an order this weekend.  I would say return the ones you haven't opened.  Oh and order that sample pack.  You know my favorite kind of Slimfast I like.  I like the low carb ones.  They have the most protein in them even more than the High Protein Slimfast.  Too funny huh?   You will make it through it Jan.

"Because we do not know when we will die we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well and yet everything happens only a certain number of times and a very small number really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, an afternoon that is so deeply a part of your life that you can't even conceive of your life without it. Perhaps four or five times more? Perhaps not even that. How many times will you watch the full moon rise, perhaps twenty, and yet it all seems so limitless."

I just have to warn you.  The Roadhouse Lemonade, Fuzzy Navel, Leman Tea and Crystal Sky protein drinks were by far the worst things I have ever had in my life.  I had to choke it down.  Matrix 5.0 Cookies N Cream was sooooo GOOOD.  There are others that are really good that was in the sample pack that I bought.  Oh and I love the mixing cup.  It mixed up the shakes soooo well.  Good luck on finding the ones you like.

Personally I love the SlimFast low carb shakes...there are 15-20 grams (depending on flavor) in each shake and they dont taste too bad at all!!! Put them on ice and they are even better...or crush the ice ...even better..lol Good luck!!

Yay!  Oh I found a place that will order whatever kind of protein powders that I would like if they dont' carry it. They are pretty reasonable.  I am going to give them a list of other good protein powders that I have tried.  They are the same as ordering them offline, just don't have to pay shipping. Also the guy gave me even more discount on them too.   I don't remember the name of the store, but they are on Post Rd over by Greggs heading towards Wal-mart on Post Rd.
