Im the nascar driver and my BF is the old lady driver. yet hes the one always getting tickets mostly for stop lights/signs and speeding.

ahk-o-nom-o-wok ?

deaddemmama - i tried your recipe.. I used nonfat lemon yogurt. skim milk per package directions for the vanilla protein power( used Ohyeah vanilla creme) and lemon extract and a handfull of large ice cubes. stuck it in my ninja. It was kinda meh when i first made it so i drank half for dinner and put the other half in the fridge. Drank the rest this morning and it was SOOOOOO much better. the foam i think was pretty gross. very whey isolate tasting. anyway, It tasted today just like a lemon cupcake. Thanks so much for my new favorite drink! <3

Maybe try Turkey duck or goat.

I got my call today too that i was Approved! Aetna. Now i still have to wait til Oct due to work schedule.. but still... YAY for us!!!!!

I quit cold turkey... hardest thing ever.. after 17 striaght years of only drinking that.. now i have gone to diet tea.. makes me eat alot less bad things because for me tea doesnt mix well with fatty foods and popcorn.. so not i dont eat them as much.. next step is water.. hoping that will go well.

My last diet coke was on my birthday April 8. I would have to say, that was the hardest thing to give up so far. I was averaging 2- 2liter bottles a day. sometimes more if i stayed up late.

that sounds really good. i might have to try that this weekend. what flavor protein powder do you use?

Yeah I think im going to place my order too. i will try out a few and let you know how it works.

Maybe to show support do half the liquid diet or the whole thing with her..just to give you a jump start and know what you will be getting yourself into.

I found these on my internet adventures this weekend. I was wondering if anyone has tried these yet or should i just try them and let you all know? https://www.lorannoils.com/c-6-super-strength-flavors.aspx I found them on a store that was selling some bariatric goods i was checking out. Only 1 drop will flavor a plain vanilla or chocolate shake to something mroe exciting like cheesecake. just a thought.

"At the moment I am trying out different Protein shake recipes and dieting to prep for surgery. Anybody else doing this?" I have been doing this since January. prepping, collectiong bowls and protein and Vitamins and baby sppons and forks, 2 ounce and 4 ounce cups and bowls for pre making Jello and Soup the day before my surgery which inst until Oct. It hurts my pocketbook pess if i get things a little each week instead of right before or right after surgery.

Ohyeah! ready to drink shakes. the cookies and creme and Bananas and creme are the best.

I have Aetna Pos.. I have faith that my Dr's office knows what they are doing. im excited and get more so each day. Still have to wait til sept to get my date.

im pre op and im already missing pop corn and diet coke. They were my comfort foods that always went together. I cant drink anything else with popcorn without making my stomach upset and i quit the diet coke to prepare.

I agree with everyone amazing. I hope i have that much success. GJ and keep going!

AS far as exercise with the kids, try dance games on a gaming console. that way the kids are playing with you and working out too.

i found mine in the grocery store next to regular peanut butter

Suggestions: mix the unflavored with something that has a stronger flavor or smell. Garlic/onions/peppers. in mashed potatoes and stir in some Protein powder and powdered milk you could also mix it in a chili after its cooled some. Ohyeah! shakes.. they are lactose free and amazing. 32 grams and you really dont taste anything. the banana is the best followed by Cookies and creme. PB2 in your shakes. its powdered Peanut Butter with alo less fat than regular. I am still pre op but have been researching like a mo-fo and trying everything.
