I can't say I have tried them but several of the girls in my office love the Adkins ones. They are like 7.99 a 4 pack at wal mart.
Topic: Pre-Made Protein Drinks
Does anyone have any suggestions on some GOOD tasting pre-made protein drinks. I'm looking for something like slimfast but without the carbs and sugar.
Topic: RE: Eating
I am exactly 5 months post op and down 107 lbs. But I feel like I am eating all the time too! I try to tell myself not to snack so much, but I snack on things like peanuts, and pretzels, and popcorn. I can eat about 1/4 of a burger with the bun, and 1/2 a hot dog with the bun. If I go to McDonalds with my son I can eat 2 chicken nuggets and about 10 fries. I think I get full fast because I do drink and eat at the same time, which they told me not to. But I cannot eat something without washing it down.
Sounds like you are doing everything great! Keep up the good work!

Topic: RE: Eating
Hi Heather.....Girl you are not alone.....Now I'm a very slow loser.....I'm 5 months post-op and have only lost 53lbs.....I feel like I'm able to eat more than I should be able to.....I was able to eat a taco bell chicken burrito.....I ate only 1/2 for lunch and then was able to eat the other 1/2 for dinner and plus snack on some of those tortilla chips with cheese.....This is entirely too much food.....I'm able to eat a whole turkey hotdog but I try to stay away from the bread.....I do exercise at least 4-5 days a week and drink plenty of water.....I'm a partial veggie so I only eat chicken, fish and turkey and so this is how I get my protein in daily.....I just believe that eventually I'm going to reach my goal and get this weight off.....Hugs
