I'm 6 years from surgery and have slowly started to regain. I want to try the 5 day pouch test so I'm looking for recommended protein shakes with low carbs. Thanks everyone!!

I like Syntrax Nectar a lot. You can mix the fruit and tea-type flavors with water and the coffee and sweets types flavors with something like unsweetened vanilla cashew milk or almond milk for a very low calorie, low carb, high protein shake.

There are a lot of place to buy variety packs online so you don't have to commit to an entire tub of a particular flavor you aren't sure you will like. Good luck!

Protein shakes are liquid and run through us.  The five day pouch test is like doing an old fashioned diet.  You are miserable for five days, lose about three pounds and gain it back as soon as you start eating food again.

Do the Five Day Meat Test instead.  Much easier and much better weight loss.  One member just reported dropping 18 pounds.  You can do the test to get started, then stay on it until you are back to your goal weight.

It is for people who are further out and who have regained some of their lost weight

At 2 months out you should be basically doing the 5-day-meat test anyway... Protein first at every meal and snack, no carbs or rarely. Add a few veggies if you have room.
