slim fast while pregnant

I use to drink slim fast for breakfast before I got pregnant. Is it safe to drink it now? I haven't drank it since I found out but kinda miss it lol. I'm 25 weeks

I drank it at first because it was the only thing I could keep down with my morning sickness. The doctor said it was fine, because it's just low calorie and has nutrients. You can always check with your doctor to be sure, but mine okay'd it.

At this stage of pregnancy I'd switch to ensure or make a smoothie. That will have more nutrition.

I don't see why not, as long as you're getting enough calories. I drink a premier protein shake w 30 g of protein daily, bc I had gastric sleeve weight loss surgery and now have to work to get the added protein the baby needs.

i wouldnt simply because its not organic and my doctor alway recommends making food from scratch than buying it processed. id switch to home made smoothies. u get to add a bunch of vitamins and get to control whats in it.

My last pregnancy I had gestational diabetes I used to talk to a nutritionist once a week. I would crave chocolate and she told me it wasn't the best option considering my circumstances but if I had to have them and it wasn't hurting my sugar it was fine

I drink one every morning. Some times have them twice a day. There's not a concern about getting enough calories for me.

They aren't unsafe but I'd switch to a more natural and healthy option.

I had no idea slim fast was still around! I used to drink one of those every morning in high school (15 years ago).

I'd ask your OB just in case. However, I do the carnation chocolate breakfast shakes every morning. They are probably similar. I just know the carnation ones have protein and vitamins.

It's cheaper and healthier to make your own breakfast shake. I make mine every night for the next morning. That way I just grab it from the fridge and go. I use the Nutribullet for mine. There are lots of great recipes online as well, to point you in the right direction.
