As a matter of fact I started gagging. Now I'm turned off. But I need this protein any suggestions? I swear I wanna do right. So hard. But i am killing the crabs. Love love love it!!!!!!!!!

Have you tried WonderSlim Protein drinks? They have a mint hot cocoa, which is great. And right now I am drinking the Tangy Orange Protein Drink. Mixed with Water, it's basically like Crystal Light with protein.Also like the shakes that you can make into puddings by adding less Water are pretty good. Their stuff has been my saving grace!

which nectar did you get? I didn't like most of them either but I could handle the fuzzy navel one. Reminded me a little of orange juice instead of all the usual chocolate, vanilla and strawberry you usually have to choose from.

Hi sleeve buddy Amy!!! I haven't tried any of them. Isoplus I have seen but haven't tried it. I have a big strawberry nectar here I have to get down. But I will try some of the other brands. Maybe I'll put some in some pudding and mix it. Thanks for the suggestions ev 1.

You have a lower starting weight than a lot of people. (You're like me!) And you lost 10 pounds in 9 days. That's over a pound a day--a terrific loss! If you have a lower BMI to start with, you're closer to goal, so you won't lose as fast. You are doing nothing wrong!

Yes I'm in stage 2 of my diet I can have yogurt. I think I want to try premier, heard from other people they were tasty. If this doesn't work I'll try maybe 2 more then I'm done. I will see if the have Protein pills. They have everything in pill form. Ev 1 lose differently, 10 pounds is great!!! I guess maybe I'm heavier, or have more Water weight to lose. But you can be out buddy to , keep in touch compare ask questions but most of all encourage.

I only drink premier ready made shakes. They are a little bit more expensive, but in my opinion well worth it :) Don't give up you really need to get the Protein in!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
