I have done a protien shake Breakfast since being banded, 90% of the time.

Im interested if anyone else does this and what is your magical concoction.

whey Protien (seven star@ walmart)

Total body liquid vitamin/mineral

Green Tea extract

Flax oil(TBL Spoon a day)

Bannana always with BBerry, peach, or something like that.

Fiber solution. Usually Walmart Psyillium.

This holds me for hours until lunch.< /p>

Congratulations - your shake sounds awesome. I don't like fruit so I do struggle but I try to do shakes. I am lucky to get GNC whey in the blender with Water. I also do Protein Bars for breakfast or mid-morning. I need to order the Reliv Vitamins I used to take and that will motivate me. One of my problems is that I take my anti-malaria pills when I get up and have to wait a couple of hours to take vitamins. So the shakes have to wait. Celeste

I did shakes for a long time after banding too, but they weren't elaborate like yours. (Sounds good!) I just used a Kashi mix that I got at Trader Joe's and shook it up in a bottle with milk. I would drink it on my way to work.

While very satisfying, I realized at some point that I was getting something like 350-400 calories in that way! I was filling a 24 oz bottle and it was just way more than was called for, but less than that and it didn't keep me full long enough. So I switched to Protein bars and that's still my favorite easy breakfast.

I did shakes for a while too, but realized they are so loaded with calories and they didn't stick to me long either. Now I eat cereal and it stays with me all morning with half the calories.

I can't eat solids until about noon, so I have a carnation breakfast drink in the morning and it works for me.

Chocolate Royale Slimfast powder, skim milk, crushed ice in a blender, and sometimes one or more of the following:

malted milk powder (I like the taste)

Benefiber (for obvious reasons)

Knox bone and joint powder (extra protein)

powdered fat-free milk (also extra protein)

I hate regular Protein Shakes, or at least all of them that I have tried thus far. Like a lot of Bandsters, I have trouble with solids in the AM.
