Guest guest Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 I use the Atkins Advantage Shake. Its high in protein and low in sugar and was also told to go to a health food store an get one there thats high in protein. I think its call ISOPURE. But not sure on the name..

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 Happy Friday everyone... I'm new here, and I'm sure this topic has been covered ad nauseum (pardon the pun) but I'm trying to find a protein shake mix that doesn't taste like flavored chalk. My roomate had WLS on Oct. 23 and although she's been diligent about everything from portion size to vitamins, she hides every time she hears me start up the blender in our kitchen. So far, Isopure vanilla-flavored is the one she 'likes' best. But halfway through drinking it, it separates and well... let's just say it loses whatever appeal it may have had. Any other brands you can suggest? BTW, are there any other family members or friends on this board? I'd love to hear about your experiences as you help loved ones through the different stages. Warmest Regards, Barb just wanted too say I GOT A SURGERON DATE .For the second time...IT IS DEC.2.2003 AND I will find out then when I go for surgery..Some of you know that it has been a year or longer I have been fighting with the inc co to have this surgery (RNY)>> I am getting scared now.It is really coming true.ok have a great day just wanted to say hello and let you all know it is finally coming true.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 hi barb, lol!! she likes isopure, bleh! she can find samples @ wlssuccess.com & vitalady.com (no i'm not a spokesperson). the one i like most that was recommended by a group member is Champion Whey Stack, don't even need a blender. also, @ the group's main page, there are recipes, so the shakes won't be such a chore. & yes, there's been parents, spouses, friends & children of patients on board. it's awesome to see things from their perspective. lori h. -- In Gastric_Bypass_Family , " Barbara Besteni " wrote: > Happy Friday everyone... > > I'm new here, and I'm sure this topic has been covered ad nauseum (pardon the pun) but I'm trying to find a protein shake mix that doesn't taste like flavored chalk. > > My roomate had WLS on Oct. 23 and although she's been diligent about everything from portion size to vitamins, she hides every time she hears me start up the blender in our kitchen.

I dont know if anyone has teid this but I found a protien powder drink today at Wal-Mart...Its call Whey Protien byEAS advant Edge HP it has the yellow tab for the Core series. I got the chocolate. It has 20g of protien per serving and only 3g od sgr.I havent tried it yet...but was wondering if anyone else has? Slimfast makes a protein drink now...but stay away from it...I looked a the contents and it has 30g of sgr and only 12g of protien... And thanks to all who told me about the Fruit O2....i found it also...I picked up the lemon... Thanks all so much Nov 18th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 Thanks Bonnie, I havent opened it up and tried it yet. So I guess I will take it back and exchange it for the Vanilla. I juast happen to see it and thought I would try it out...It was better that paying $30.00 for the same size of a diff. brand. Again thanks Nov.18th 10days and counting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
