didn't use them. I'd stay away from them. Stick to whey protein, and sugar free. You need good digestable protein and excellent vitamins to keep you healthy. I like the achiev pre made drinks from bariatriceating.com. They are pricy, but good for ready to drink items.

Too high in fat for me,  EAS AdvantEDGE carb control is what I use to maintain.   110 calories, 25 from fat, 17grams of protein, 0 sugar and 4 total carbs.  They have a couple coffee flavored ones or I like to use the chocolate one as "creamer" in my coffee.  Hope that helps?!

"Lo Carb Slimfast" has "9" total grams of Fat, not high at all and much less than EAS and 2 Carbs. Normally I wouldn't bother to answer a reply like this but I think the poster should have thre correct info before she makes an informed decsison. Calories are 190 & it has vita and minerals in it as well.  I have tried EAS over and over again and wan't creamy enough for me. To each his own as long as you get yor portein.

Just to be clear dosen't that mean Slimfast is about 81 calories from fat?  EAS has 110 calories 25  from fat so it is 22.7 % fat, you are saying Slimfast is 190 calories and with 9 grams of fat that would be 81 calories from fat for a total of 42% of calories from fat.  That is all I was saying was that it was too high in fat for me, a lot of us would dump on that much fat. :)

I have one for breakfast every morning. And when my family goes to a fast food place, which is usually SUnday ngihts after church, I carry one with me. I like em, and they seem to work for me.  Blessings Betsy

Yes I use them everyday  and love them. They are 20 grams concentrated whey protein and I add 20 grams of Unflavored Unjury which is 20grams which equals about 33 to 36  isolated whey. While it adds up to 40 I didn't feel it was 40 isolated and thats what I prefer. I have no choice since all the drinks on the market I have found contain apartame and acesulfame potassium (ace k) which I am allergic to. I love the taste of this and have been using them before and after WLS which is over 3 yrs. I most definately lost weight using them. I spoke to my surgeon today and he said whey is whey count it. You count the found you eat why not your slimfast as 20.I have been drinking Slimfast since it came out I believe somewhere around 85. Always worked for me, its a meal supplement with loads of vitamins and minerals and satisfies me for at least 4 hours. I have them on autodelivery as they sell out so fast where I live. I get them free shipping from Amazon.
