According to my surgeon, slim fast is not a good choice because there are
too many calories in them, something like 250calories per can. My surgeon
told me to drink sugar free carnation instant breakfast instead. Luanne

No, a good protein drink is to buy protein powder and add it to yr drink of
choice. One that doesn't taste sugary, and has very little taste is
Anywhey Tasteless protein. You can add it to almost any kind of drink and
it can be hot or cold! You can purchase it online, or I get mine from
GNC....Good luck!

My SUR and NUT - say NO. Too many calories too much sugar.

I did use the carb control ones in the beginning, 20 grams of protein but
you have to read labels. The ready to drink shakes I like are EAS, Muscle
Milk Lite, Extreme Smoothies and Worldwide Protein.

You need to look at the caloric intake, sugar grams, carbohydrates and
protien grams. Try and keep your carbs and sugars low and high protien. If
you have want to be premade shakes, try wold wide protien, achievone,
smartforme. all these have high protien and low everything else. if you
have any questions you can email me. hope this helps

Hi, I was going to say that I was told that the slimfast are too high in
sugar but I see many people beat me too it! I want to thank the rest of
you for giving ME info about what are good protein drinks! I am pre-op and
trying to compile a list of what to stock my shelves with so I will be
ready. One more question-- at what point, post-op, do you start drinking
these shakes or are they good for the pre-op liquids week also?

I am going to tell you different, we were told we could use the low carb
slim fast. It has something like 20 protein which is higher then the high
protein slim fast. I use the whey protein for normal times and just used
the low carb slim fast for on the go or traveling since the cans are so
easy.
Happy Weight Loss!

Check out GNC they have lots of great protein powders that you can have. Or
unjury is another protein powder too that can be bought online.
Talk to your dietician and he/she can help you.

I was allowed to have High Protein Slim Fast or similar for my pre-op diet.
I had 2 a day and in the evening a lean cuisine or WW meal. I lost 13 lbs
on my 2 week pre-op diet.
