Who has found the cheapest place to have Achiev protein drinks shipped to you? The store where I get them just informed me they have been discontinued! WHAT!? They are my favorite, and I need the protein each day.

Thanks for the info!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Oh your so lucky that you can go to a store. there are no stores in my area. I have to order them thru online and have them shipped to me. The one place used UPS and then the new place Ive been using is using Fed Ex. But the problem is that it costs a bundle. I would love to be able to walk into a store and get them.
So I use iBariatric.com - AchievONE Protein drinks - Post Bariatric Surgery Diet - Post Gastric Bypass Surgery Diet and I use to use this other place but right now my mind is not cooperating with me. But its cheaper for me to use ibariatric and it gets here in about 2 days. Which reminds me I need to order some now. I am so hooked on these.

Ok my mind is working now. The other place I use to get it from is: Ready to Drink<BR>Protein - RTD's They were a bit more a case. I think they were $30 buck a case plus UPS and it took a while to get to me.

But the iBariatric.com - AchievONE Protein drinks - Post Bariatric Surgery Diet - Post Gastric Bypass Surgery Diet is a few bucks cheaper, $28.00 a case or they have a deal on getting 5 cases for $134.99 but I can never pay that much at once.
If you do get the 5 case deal it works out to only $26.99 a case.

Man I could go for a nice Mocha Java right now.

Kara, I use to order them, but I haven't ordered them in a while. I get them at the same place as "A New Me". I am going this weekend to buy some of the whey protein from Wal-mart that Dawn uses. She said once she mixes it with milk, she get 32 g of protein in a shake. That sounds a lot better than the 17 I have been getting in the ones I was drinking. And, it's a lot cheaper than the Acheiv1 protein drinks. Dawn says the whey protein is $13 and lasts a while.

Thanks gals! I have tried so many protein drinks and found that 1. I don't like them and 2. I don't like to prepare them. So, the Achiev is something I like and I can grab- plus I pretend it's my Starbucks frappacino for the day! LOL

I am going to check online at those places- see what I can work out, so I don't run out! (first gotta go to every Hi Health in AZ and buy them out!)

I do the ibariatric site, too. I've got to start ordering in bulk to save shipping costs, which are on the high side. That said, all I can tolerate is Isopure and AchievOne, so I bite the bullet and pay!

Talking Love to know the name of Dawn's Shake

I hope I am doing this right - Christy0283, What is the name of the shake that Dawn uses from Walmart. I tried to search the older threads for it, but was not successful.

Thanks
Z
