AspieMom 13 Posted January 22, 2013 I might try to make it too. I just barely started the process (ie went to the conference and am awaiting my first appt) But I know have a support "team" in place is always good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

allnewme 262 Posted February 6, 2013 I only have a costco membership right now. No Sam's Club. I tried some other Protein Drink that was recommended (body by Vi ?) but I did not like it so I sold my bag to someone that uses it. I still am struggling to find a Protein drink that I like and that my sleeve likes! I plan on being at the meeting. Can't wait to see everyone again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The body by vi ones gave me a headache (I have issues with sucralose/aspartame - going to be the hardest part of all this for me ). I have found a couple of Protein Shakes that don't have it in them. One I found at Walgreens (can't remember the name right now) and the it works ones. Hoping one of those tastes good after I'm done Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only protein drink I have been able to tolerate is thd Premier Protein from costco and pure Protein drinks. I have a few different protein powders that I can't tolerate.
