I love my Protein shakes.

I start with GNC Protein Shakes. They are great.

I like them really thick and icy, almost a sherbert consistency with a nice thick straw!

GNC vanilla shake mix, 1 scoop - about maybe 1 tsp. of pistachio sugar free pudding mix, tons of ice, little Water ...yummy.

GNC choc shake mix, 1 scoop - dash of vanilla, 1 tsp. Hershey cocoa powder - no sugar, sprinkle of cinnamon, tons of ice and a little fat free milk (or somtimes my almond soy milk)...yumm.

GNC vanilla shake mix - 1 scoop, lot of ice, little almond soy milk, 1 tsp. vanilla sugar free pudding mix, and a tsp of sugar free hershey Syrup swirled in after it's ready.

I find GNC prices really good. Been buying Protein shakes for 2 years and that is the one I found to be the best price/taste. Have tried tons and tons of them.

You can try a small sized bag and you can bring it back to the store is you don't like it.

I was not very impressed with the unjury, thought it was a bit expensive and not crazy about the taste, but depends on the person.

Vitalady on the net has a lot of sample types you can try. I love buying the samples and trying a different shake every day.

I picked up 100% whey Protein powder at Sams club and have really enjoyed mixing that with 4-5oz of skim milk and ice. Then blend it in my magic bullet. Its not super chocolatey which is nice because Im about over the sweet stuff....

Vitalady.com is the best website I've found when it comes to Nutritional Value of Protein shakes...how much time I have spent going from site to site trying to get this info...so glad I found it.

Vanilla Protein powder w/ 8oz skim milk, 1 tsp Peanut Butter, 1/2 tsp sugar free choc Syrup. Blend in blender. OMG, taste like Reeses Peanut Butter cups. You have to try it.

Or

Vanilla Protein Powder w/ 8 oz skim milk, 1 tbsp of sf cheesecake pudding mix, 3 frozen strawberries (I keep bags of frozen fruit in hand). Blend in blender. Great also, tastes like strawberry cheesecake.

      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.

      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.
