I had my surgery 1/21/04 and I've lost 53 pounds now. My only issues are getting enough protein. Does anyone have any good recipes for protein drinks they would care to share?

Dear Judy, Lately, I have been enjoying Worldwide Pure Protein, Frosty Chocolate flavor. Comes in a can, has 35 grams of protein. It gives me a good protein boost in the morning, cuz I'm tired of eggs! I had my surgery 1/20/04, lost 62 pounds.~Hugs~Jerrie

THE best protein drink is NECTAR Fuzzy Naval flavor. It tastes like tang to me and after all the "chocolate" flavored drinks....this one is yummy. I got it at nutrition wharehouse in Chandler, az. they dont seem to have it at GNC. good luck michelle

I have found a terrific drink called Isopure. Comes in 6 fruit flavors, is a clear beverage with 40 gms of protein, 160 calories, sweetened with splenda. No problem tolerating it. Runs around $3.25 in Calif. I get it at a natural foods store but GNC can special order it too.

Hallelujah!!!! I have found the Holy Grail of protein drinks!!!!!! I know lots of members here already know about her, but Susan Maria has a site called bariatriceating.com and she has some of the most wonderful protein resourses - right at your fingertips!!!! I ordered the Nectar Fuzzy Navel (you mix it with cold water and ice - it tastes like the best orange drink EVER!!) ...and it's just sooo yummy in the morning! The other I got is the Banana Creme.... OH. MY. GOD!!!!! It IS mixed with milk, but it's so much smoother and "lighter" than the usual chocolate-based shake options!!! I was so sick of the powders that just gagged me, they were so hard to mix and smelled SO stinky!!! I'm tellin' ya - look up her site, and if nothing else, order some samples so you can see what you like! You'll never meet a nicer person, she's so helpful and I promise you'll find something that you'll love so you can get that protein in!!! Good luck!! Jen
