I had my surgery March 2. I'm still losing my hair.Thank God I had a ton of it before surgery or I would be bald. I've been drinking the high protein boost but it has too many calories.Does any one know of a protein shake that is lo cal and tastes good?..........Thanks Janine

I have only tried one shake ~~ and I didn't think it was bad ~~ matter of fact it was pretty tasty for a "protein" shake I thought. It is the Atkins Advantage Shake. I tried the Strawberry Supreme and have heard that the "chocolate" one is pretty good as well. I drank if over ice. Here are the stats...1 can = 11 oz 170 calories (80 from fat) 9g Fat Cholesterol 15mg Sodium 170mg Potassium 580mg Total Carbs 5g Dietary Fiber 3g Sugars 1g PROTEIN 20g

I know this sounds really gross, but I mixed baby food meat with applesause. I think there only 8 grams of protein in a 2 oz jar of baby food, but I figured it was better that nothing. My surgeon did`nt recommend the protein drinks for the vbg patients. I actually came to kind of like it.I know. I`m weird.

I like Susan Maria's shakes. She posts on line here sometimes and her website is bariatriceating.com . She is one of us and I get my high protein bars from her. I have also bought some of the powders though I get very tired of them.

I'm still looking for a good one myself. I brought one called Designer Whey (Tropical Punch) at GNC this weekend, it was awful. Another $12.50 wasted. Before that I brought Soy Protein I think by EAP or something like that in a dark purplish-blue container. It was chocolate and awful. I'm still looking though because a protein smoothie with a cup of nonfat yogurt is like 30 grams of protein.

I am using Low carb Isopure in chocolate. It is available at Smoothy King. It is also available in carb free but I hate the taste. 210 cal, 50 grams Protein, Not the greatest taste but drinkable. I add a little vanilla or almond extract to improve flavor. I also cut liquid to 8 oz. and serve it cold. I chill the water with ice before making it and serve it over ice. I drink it for breakfast, and eat about 2-3 oz of meat for lunch and dinner. Hope this helps. William Schaefers

I have been drinking a protein shake every morning for years due to: I am not a breakfast eater. Here are a few things I do and the drinks are really good. I will start with my favorite sugar free drink like diet snapple or diet air. (What ever you enjoy) Then add about 5 frozen strawberries and ice cubes with any vanilla soy powder. Oh yeh, I will add 1/2 cup of water to it. Makes about 16-20 oz's and get me going all morning. Let me know how you make out. Lu
