You might try getting some chewable Lactaid to eat right before you have a shake. I've had bad reactions to Protein powder before and I'm not normally lactose-intolerant but the Lactaid helped.

Also, have you tried Low-Carb SlimFast? It has 20 grams of Protein per 12-oz can and my doctor thought it was fine for me to use it, even during my Clear liquids stage. He also recommended Carnation Instant Breakfast but I never got around to trying it. Hope you find something that works! :)

Wondered when someone would get around to posting about Iowa.

Got to say I'm lovin' Hilary's 3rd place showing.:whoo:

Just can't stand that gal, tried, can't, sorry. My MIL thinks I'm an embarrasement to the female race for not supporting Hillary but personally I'd be more embarassed to be an American or a female if she was the best we could do for our first Female president.

To all the Hillary supporters, I am sorry if my comments offend. Despite my lack of respect for Hillary I have nothing but respect for anyone else who chooses to take the time to get interested enough to back someone even Hillary:heh:.

I am always curious why it matters what one state says? Everyone acts like it's a big deal, but.. it's one state.. So I is confused.

I love it! I have one every morning for Breakfast. It's filling and very satisfying (even with skim milk). Sometimes I even have it for dinner if I'm not very hungry (and lazy).

Not crazy about the way the way the Slim Fasts taste, so I basically use a glass of skim milk or a Carnation Instant Breakfast to get some Protein in.

Bravo to you for taking the plunge! You'll do great!!

Good luck! :clap2:

I know what you mean. I think its because the campains are so expensive to run that candidates with poor results in the first couple states just drop out rather than to continue to spend more money on what is beginning to appear to be a fruitless campain.

Personally, I kind of wish all the states would hold their votes all on the same day like they do for the final election. I also sometimes wish when it comes to the final election for the presidency that the news media weren't able to start predicting results for the elections before the polls were closed across the entire country. It's not really fair to states on the West Coast who haven't even got out to vote yet and the media is already "declaring" a winner.

Yeah, I don't think anything should be released till all states are in either, I think it sways people 'Well so and so isn't doing so well, I may as well vote for so and so'. But it's one state! Politics confuse me on a daily basis.

I was actually at a caucus last night. It was quite the experience. I'm glad my top two choices have won! I also am having a hard time liking Hillary. It will be interesting to see how the election goes from now on.

I'm happy for obama, although I'm not a dem. But i'm not too happy with the Rep. choice. I hope Romney makes it! If Huckabee makes it I may just go with Obama. Huckabee is ok on a lot of issues, but for some reason I'm not loving him. I have to do more research.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
