Need Some Shakey Advice!!
Are these shakes for presurgery use? Your taste will probably change after surgery, so what you like before may not be what you like after. Slimfast has way too much sugar for me to handle. The low carb slimfast works better. Any of them that have many sugar alcohols make me ill. The Atkins, Slimfast, BA, and Optifast shakes taste icky to me. The Atkins, slimfast, and BA bars taste icky to me and sit like a brick in my stomach. I only like Oh Yeah brand premade drinks, Syntrax Nectar Whey protien powder, and Oh Yeah wafer protien bars. But everyone is very different. You will probably have to sample them all before you find one you like.
I had a hard time convincing myself that I liked the protein shakes. I got a great idea from someone on this site and it works great for me.
I could not stomach the Bariatric Advantage protein powder. I liked the taste...but I had a problem with the texture. Someone recommended that I add just enough lowfat milk to make it the texture of pancake mix....then add it to your morning coffee.
Wow...what a difference. It tastes like a great capuccino. I love it.
The other shake i drink is the Atkins. It is smooth and silky only thing .......it is a little thick for my taste so i pour it over ice and that helps to dilute it.
Good luck.
