I had VSG 10/21/14. HW 232 LW 119 CW 132. 5'3". I am so scared of regain. I am up about 13 lbs from my lowest weight in July of this year. I have never had an issue with food or drink, never threw up post op. There isn't anything I CAN'T eat, I still have restriction, but I can eat all day. I had a premiere protein drink every morning until recently. I haven't had the money to stock up like I want to. I need someone to keep me accountable and push me through this funk I'm in.

I haven't been to the gym in quite a while. I work in a medical office that is right next to the local YMCA. I used to go every day at lunch, but they closed it to remodel and it hasn't been open in about 8 months. I'm ashamed to say that I haven't really worked out since then. The shakes work A LOT better at keeping me full than a regular breakfast. I ran out of shakes for about a week, and could really tell the difference. I grazed a lot more when I tried to just eat food instead of the shake. I'm sure that, like everyone whose had wls, my biggest fear is regain. It's only 10 lbs from my lowest weight, but I feel it, and I feel horrible. It's nice to talk to someone who has gone through the same thing.

I got mine at Sam's also. I think they're great. I do find if you drink them in a cup with a straw you don't get the protein smell. But I can't taste the protein at all. I will even dilute half and half with water because they are sweet.
