Slim Fast High Protein

My doctor said I could drink the high protein slim fast since the one he sells is so expensive. He said it has to be the one in the can though, not the bottle. I don't understand that though...the bottle has 20 grams of protein vs 15 in the can. Did anyone have this before surgery? If so, how did it work for you? He said I would have to drink 5 a day.

The high protein one does come in the bottle. Maybe he just didn't realize. I saw it at my nut appt last week. I bought the wrong one. It only has 10 grams. But I do think it tastes better than the whey protein....

I personally did the slim fast low carb ones as my pre op diet.

I used the Slim Fast too but now I get Premier Protein at Costco.  I think it tastes better and it's cheaper, if you have access to Costco. Plus 30 g of protein!!

I use premier also, slim fast low carb was just too sweet and too thick for me and my pouch!

It's in my fridge now. I think they are pretty good - I like some others better.  I think it is more expensive than buying a container of Unjury Chocolate Splendor - which is better, not quite as low carb.

My NUT told me I could drink the Slim fast low carb shakes. More protein and less sugar.

I'm using them but looking for something higher protein lower calorie. 5 of them a day is a lot of calories at 180 a bottle

My registered dietitian told me not to look at just protein in the drink, but at the vitamins too.  She didn't want us doing meal replacement drinks, just protein.  

She had some patients who actually got too much of certain vitamins and minerals and caused health problems because they did their vitamins plus meal replacement shakes instead of food and each shake had over 50% of the RDA for certain vitamins.  She has limited us to drinks with less than 20% of the RDA of all vitamins.

What kinds of concoctions have all of you come up with to vary the tastes? Also, if the Bariatric Advantage shake was to be 5 a day with 27 grams of protein vs the 15 grams I get with slim fast does that mean I should be drinking 10 shakes a day of slim fast to get the same amount? PLEASE HELP!
