I must say i absolutely LOVE the slim fast low carb shakes....Im sooo excited that i have found a one that i can actually tolerate. I cant really drink them fast so idk if thats a good thing or not but it takes me like 2hrs to drink the whole thing. Is that ok? The reason i ask is bc the shakes really keep me full....like i dont feel hungry at all. They are 11oz and there's 20g of protein and when im done i drink my water inbetween. I guess im a little worried bc i know i should be getting my protein from food but the convienence of these shakes help me so much. Today i did have the gelatin i ordered (i got the fruit punch kind) and its pretty good. Its pretty filling also, it still sucks that i cant really caculate the protein value in it bc of that protein we cant absorb to well thats in it or something, but its still a nice snack to have that has a little protein im hoping i can absorb. So anyway i just thought i would say hello and note my opinion on the gelatin since i know a few have gotten samples and might have purchased it also

where did you order the jello

[MsRain]

there was a thread here about it and honestly i cant quite remember it. If you google the name medtrition that will get you to where you need to be i believe.

This is great I think. I rarely get a chance just to go up and down the isles in the grocery store and just look but I did take a stroll yesterday on purpose to get some excerise. Long winter here in Va so I took advantage of it.

I know it dont have protein but...... I come accross Hawiian Punch Jello. In different flavors. Now i have a short term memory loss so I dont know if I seen it in the drink isle where you purchase it with the stick things like put it in with the bottles of water or the jello isle. Somthing I thought I would share.

Have any of your all tried the snickers protein bars? In walmart they had a table set up with samples of them handing them out. One i tried wasnt so good but the other was. I got a 6 pack of those. Again... my memory is not working well on how much protein it has. Its a bad couple weeks for me and my current memory functions....... but look at those to and read...... I acutally thought when I looked at it and im out a while it was a really good thing. I dont know about people under 3 months however. Just a thought on this side.

You will find them in the protein powder area in the pharmacy area.

yes ive tried the snickers protein bars but they have a lot of sugar. They were a little to sweet for me, it would take me awhile to get them down...they were still good though. I might try them again in another month or so and see if i can tolerate them then. I think those have 20grams of protein also. But i do like the fact that i can count the liquid in my shakes towards my 64ozs of liquid for the day. And the carb count is high, my low carb shakes are just 6grams and i love that

I did not like the jello - it was really hard to get it down..it has a "medicine" taste to it and the texture is more rubbery then jiggly.

[MsRain]

Yes it is kinda rubbery, i just kinda chopped it down and mixed it around and it was all good for me. I didnt get the medicine taste though, i wont be buying them again either since i cant absorb the entire amount of protein.
