Hi everyone...I also had my surgery May of 2007. Everything has "generally" gone really well. I started at 280 and i just hit my 100 mark (actually 101) . I am looking for some protein ideas. I just found the Special K 2o drinks that have 5g of protein. I did the Costo protien drink for a while but can't tolerate it now, although hubby (2/13/08) still loves it.

Hi Kathy and welcome!!! I just found the Lean Desserts protien powder and love it. You mix a scoop to 4-5 oz milk and it mixes up thick. I use it like a pudding. Also I make a pack of plain oatmeal, mix in half of scoop of cinnamon roll lean dessert and some milk.....very yummy! I was getting tired of drinking protein drinks so had to change it up a bit. I do not do the special K drinks since there is only 5g but if you like those you might want to try the Nectar flavors. They are similar in there textrues as the K drinks but you will get 20g in a scoop. I have started asking for samples at all the nutrition shoppes and even Smoothie king has them. Has one helped me try and find some new things and two save money LOL! Donna

Hello and welcome to our board. Sounds like your WLS has been a success. I don't have any tips on protein for ya, though. I get all my protein thru food. Guess I am one of the fortunate ones who can do that. Take care, April

Hi Kathy. Welcome to the May 2007 family. Like April, I try to get my protein in through good old food. But, my fave is the Nectar Fuzzy Navel mix with Tropicana SF Orangeade drink. YUMMY! I know a few people have difficulty finding it so I'm not sure if it's just an Eastern thing. But, I love those. It's my "sweet" fix. Sounds like your WLS is a great success. Congratulations to you and your hubby! * Cyndi * 265.8/139.8/150 Highest/Current/Surgeon's Goal

Who makes the nectar fuzzy navel shake?  I am having trouble finding shakes i can tolerate, and can like.
