They tasted chalky at first, but I got used to them and lived on them for a time. But, then they started to taste worse and worse and I acutally got a little nauseated from them. But, they worked for me to lose weight and that's worth its weight in gold! The ready-made drinks taste better than in powder form.
(indicates that they have used the product)I have been on MediFast for 3mo, trying to lose pre-op weight. I cannot seem to be 100% compliant, but have lost 23lbs in 12 weeks. Presumably, better compliance would yield better weight loss. Some of the products are terrible.I rely mostly on chocolate shakes, chicken noodle soup,both of which are very good, and some occasional variety. I stared with a variety starter pack, which let me taste a number of things,and decide what I could tolerate.I don't feel especially hungry, but still struggle with emotional eating. There is a nurse at MediFast who actually calls you back if you put a question on the internet site.This is very helpful. Am not yet post-op, so can't comment on that at this time
(indicates that they have not used the product)I have been on this product for 2 months as part of a program to help me lose weight prior to surgery. I find that if I make it up a day ahead of time and refrigerate it, it thickens and the taste resembles a real milkshake. Sometimes I add fruit for a variation. It is very tasty and very nutritional, and I am sure I will use this as a supplement post-surgery.
(indicates that they have not used the product)This product product is low in carbohydrates and high in protein and is extremely tasty. This protein drink was only available at Physician's Weight loss clinics several years ago and now it is available to the public and I feel that WLS patients would benefit from taking this protein drink because it is easy to mix with water and has a wonderful taste to it. I is extremely delicious and it is not expensive. It is easy to carry around with you to work or anywhere. The company also provides other nutritionally balanced meal replacements that are fortified with 20-30% of recommended daily intakes of vitamins and minerals. Nutrimed products are lactose free. They also carry high protein bars for breakfast and lunch. These products will be delivered to your door and the company offer discount prices on bulk orders. Please try these delicious shakes. The taste is also similiar to the Opti-fast shakes which are only available from a medically supervised liquid diet program. The Nutri-Med protein shakes are available to people on diets and healthy eating programs such as the Weight Loss Surgery diet programs. Visit and order online at: www.manageyourweight.com.
