Thank You so much! This gives me a few ideas! I also sip on Bone Broth occasionally- 7g of protein per cup!

I'm with you! I used to drink about 120 oz. a day and now it's a good day when I reach the 64! Crazy thing is I do it well on the weekends, but during the work week, I struggle to get it in. I'm constantly on the go and can't carry my water bottle with me all the time, so on breaks I try to drink, drink, drink! I've actually started some "water breaks" in my classroom, to get more Water in. The kids need and I need it so it works out :)!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
