Kim2BSlim Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Does anyone still drink them? I know we are supposed to eat bars and not shakes, but I am addicted to them! Am I alone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittycat Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 I haven't had a shake since my pre-op diet ended June 9th, I had to drink 4 shakes a day, no food, so I am staying clear of shakes for awhile!! If you enjoy them, go for it. I have been on a liquids and mush since May 27th...when I can have real solid food, I am not replacing a meal with a liquid. LOL!! Take care, Cathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoyodieter Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Hi, I keep a few around for after I pb, I figure my band is irritated so I like to give it a break, or if I think I won't be able to eat a healthy meal, I had one when i was golfing on the weekend. I had froze it and sipped it as it thawed, It allowed me to bypass the snack shack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moebandit Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 [kim what kind of shakes or protein are you drinking? I haven't found anything that i like yet?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dontondan Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 I still use them for when I PB to give my stomach a rest. I go back on liquids for a day or so. It is good to have some on hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim2BSlim Posted June 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 I buy the Slim Fast high protein powder mix and mix it with fat free milk. It is delicious!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jann Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 Does anyone still drink them? I know we are supposed to eat bars and not shakes, but I am addicted to them! Am I alone? I've learned to love protein shakes and since I have a fridge LOADED with them I'll still have them at least until they are gone. I don't appear to have any hunger at all 'til dinnertime for the most part so I drink them in the morning and at lunch. When the time comes that my pouch can accept full solids I'll just use them for filler if I need a snack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaMichelle Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 I still do a shake in the morning, if I am on the go I grab a slim-fast or if I am staying aroung the house I will blend up an optifast and add some unjury protein powder mix since my fill doc says I need a minimum of 90grams of protein per day. I also like the little slimfast snack bars, it's a chocolate peanut nougut something with 100 calories and 5g of protein so it's a good combo for when I need something quick! As long as you aren't following a shake or bar with a full meal a few min later I don't see any issues with using these things to keep your protein levels up!

mona-camille Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 I love them too and have them every now and again. In fact, I had started using them again after my failed fill to keep from gaining weight. But, happily, with this new fill, doesn't look like I am going to need them! But, I can say I will keep them around because I DO like them and they are good for a quick protein burst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim2BSlim Posted July 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 I agree 100% Michelle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlgpdx Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 I keep a couple in the fridge at work.. there are times I can't keep anything down but am starving so I will have a protein shake to give me some calories/protein. About 2x a week... give or take. If I have one at home I mix it in my bullet, protein powder, FF milk, and a handful of frozen berries. yumm.. delish.

lynzz Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 Since my last fill, my band is very tight in the morning so its easier to have a shake in the morning as my meal. I use the EAS premium protein powder and blend it with ice, skim milk and sometimes a half of a banana. It's like a milkshake, but with 27 grams of protein, it helps me meet my quota for the day I feel like its a treat....and it fills me up. It's a win-win situation.
