  1. Wow! You got yours put in two days after I did. How are you doing? Im doing great and the initial pain is almost completely gone. I am off the liquid diet 3 days early and started smooth foods because I did not want to get sick at work. So far, so good. I've lost 7lbs since surgery and I feel good. I'm about to go for a walk. Hope you're doing well, too!

    Protein Shakes

    I get my shakes from Bariatric Advantage in Irvine, CA. In the store they offer samples so you can taste before you buy. They have an online store, too and since I'm in So. Cal if I don't want to drive to Irvine I order online and I get my box next day without paying extra. If you call in or chat online you can ask for samples. They gave me some samples after I made the mistake of ordering the strawberry flavor in the huge bag without tasting it first. Its too artificially sweet. My favorite is the chocolate flavor. For an 8 oz. serving they have 27g of Protein per serving, 8 g of carbs and 160 cal, plus lots of Vitamins and minerals added. I have 2-3 shakes daily. They don't taste chalky at all like some do. Usually, I shake them up with Water in a Blender Bottle that I bought at 24 hour fitness. I like them best this way because in a blender they get too think for me and I end up with too much air in my tum tum. What I like best about this shake is that on a cold day I can make it with warm water and it tastes like hot chocolate. On a hot day I dump it in the magic bullet with some water and ice cubes for a "milkshake." I can drink the chocolate shakes as a snack between meals, as a meal or all day if I cant get acceptable food for me to eat. Bariatric Advantage was recommended by my dietician and it is also where I get my vitamins and Calcium chews. I don't work for them or get discounts to tell you about how great their products are. I'm a school teacher thats how I make my "millions."
