Hi i'm new here

Hello, I just figured out the site and wanted to post a hello to all you July people. I'm 6 1/2 weeks out and can I say I'm tired of pureed food. Actually tomorrow I will be exactly 7 weeks okay so only 1 more week to go. WOOHOO. I have the same problem is some of you. I hate protein drinks. I haven't been drinking anything for 2 weeks now and I know my surgeon would just kill me if he knew. I just can't stand the taste. I'm going to try the Detour bar I saw someone post and see if I can do that. I don't have a problem with sugar really. 15 - 25 grams is okay with me. I had a cup of hot chocalate (13 g) and it went down find so an hour later I had a second cup but when I took a sip of the third (yes I said third!!!) off i was to the bathroom so I figured out my limit. ANyway nice to be here and congrats to all on there weight lose. BTW i've lost 43 lbs and dropped from a size 24W to a 16 misses. Blessings, Nichelle

Hi Nichelle and welcome. Sounds like you are doing are great, except for an occasional oops! When do you get real food? CJ

Hi Nichelle, I know what you mean about the protein drinks. I have a hard time with them too, but I'm not able to eat enough protein, so I supplement with GNC Liquid Protein. It is a fruity tasting syrup, and 3 tablespoons = 18g of protein. It's much easier to get down 3 tablespoons instead of an 8 or 10 oz protein drink. You might want to try it. I'm too afraid to even try sugar!! Have you tried the sugar free hot chocolate? Congrats on your stats!! Nancy -44

Hi Cj and Nancy!!!! I can eat real food on Sept 25th but who's counting!!!!LOL!!!! I haven't tried the liquid protein yet. I have this huge container from GNC called Protein Delite. It's a Tropical Blast flavor. It's okay.An 8oz. serving is 19.5 grams of protein. I also have some samples from WLSsucess.com. They are like a nectar and 1 9oz sample is 30 grams but boy do they taste sweet! Anyway, thank for the replies

Hi Nichelle!! You are doing great!!! I like the carbcountdown beverages. they have chocolate & reular milk with 13 grams protein a serving. I heat the the regular carbcountdown milk and add a packet of diet hot chocolate mix (it has less sugar &carbs than the sugar free) .its good with minimal sugar. + you are getting protein. added bonus!!! The chocolate carb countdown is great too doesn't taste like a protein drink at all!!!!! Keep up the great work!!! Hugs Cindy 352/302/140
