I am banded

[bondgirl 0]

I am using chocolate boost Protein shakes. I havent made any of those yet, but I am going to try the banana one tonight! I didnt think about the vanilla part? That would probably work better with the banana shake. The chocolate Peanut Butter drink will probably go good with chocolate. So, it all depends on what you would like with them. I will try the banana one tonight and let you all know.

Those sound sooooo gooood. I see the doc tomorrow and hope to graduate to Protein - I'll also update my weight - my scale only goes to 160 so I have no idea how much I've lost - my daughter thinks I have - and I feel it in places.

Yeah, I find I'm using the vanilla Protein Shakes more because vanilla mixes better with stuff.

I've bought a bunch of the Davinci sugar free syrups so I throw those in with vanilla Protein Powder and non-fat milk and YUM. I have Peach, Cinnamon, and Peppermint Patty flavors (peppermint is also yummy w/ chocolate Protein shakes). That's my "secret" I guess.

It is past 9 here, or I would go get some of that sugar free Syrup right now - what a great idea. I am also looking forward to the Peanut Butter and banana shakes!!!

I may want to stay on this liquid thing for a while longer than I am supposed to

-----NOT------

but they do sound good, thanks for the ideas.

(I figure even after I'm on solids, I'll still be doing Protein shakes so I invested in a few flavors of syrups)

Ok - As I posted earlier - EAS makes the Cappachino protien shakes iwth 15 grams of protien and 100 calories - they taste a lot like a latte - I like them on ice.

My husband and I just went on this site and are both so psyched to order some of these to make some of our healthy starbuck's Protein shakes!!!!

We had the malibu rum flovor the other day in a mocha latte - delicious!!!!!!

thanks, what a find!

I have to wait until tomorrow for the banana shake. Oh well. My boost didnt harden up quick enough. I will make it in the morning and have that for my day! It will be a better thing than chocolate all day. I never thought I would ever say that, did I really just say that? lol

Ok I am off to bed. Enjoy the shakes girls! TTYL!

Wow they have 51 sugar free flavors. I usually use it in my coffee (though I'm pretty much off that now) Ya know I really don't understand why I'm not loosing some weight. I'm eating less, have given up all drinks but Water and flavored water. I'm still preband but was trying to loose a little while waiting.

I go to see the doctor today - I'll see if I've lost - my daughter swears I have.

I did a Protein (real food) diet pre op (to shrink the liver) and I lost 10 lbs without really trying anything other than that (it really suprised me). Then of course the three days pre op I did liquids with Liquid Protein. You need to give your body something to eat so it doesn't think your starving and slow the metabolism down - that would be my only suggestion. I'm no expert, so take it for what it's worth.

I went to the Doctor and I have lost 13.8 pounds!!!! My scale is off! I was so excited. Dr. Bauman said I am doing great. This is so exciting. I am off to drink some more liquids. Maybe I am not sick of them yet?

WOW!!!!!!

Great job - 13+???? I am so excited for you!!!

I have lost 7 pounds.

myomy - please let us know how you Dr.s appointment is - my first one isn't for another 1 1/2 weeks??? Doesn't that seem like a while after wards? 19 days?

BTW - I had the vanilla shake this morniing with some flavoring - I am still so fullllllllllll

kind of sucks, because I was really looking forward to my lunch - broccoli and cheese Soup - oh well - 13.5 pounds - I am remotivated - I didn't need that Soup yet!!

Way to girl - raise your glasses of cryst 'al light to our week one success!

Well, I'm glad you all aren't feeling hungry, but I'm starving. I so desperately want to chew something. I am sooooo sick of liquids I could scream. Psychological? Maybe, but I'm just plain hungry. The only solice I get is chewing my Viactiv to liquid form. Monday I get pureed food- yum yum. You gotta love baby food.< /p>

Thanks Soonergirl and Melissa! I really appreciate it. It feels so good to finally see the scale move. I can't wait to hear other's success.
