Bonnie, Was just wondering if you do any of the protien shakes or protein bars? I had a very difficult time with the shakes. I have not found one yet that even resembles a shake, but a nice lady at our Smyrna Group is bringing me a sample of one Thursday night. Just a thought. Joe Hutter Dover, DE

Nectar has a great flavor protein drink called Cherry-Berry. It's not a shake, it's a drink. Tastes like the SF cherry ices at ritas. I love it. You can buy a sample at www.bariatriceating.com Dee

HEY DINEEN SWEETIE HOW YA DOING GREAT I HOPE.THANK YOU FOR REPLYING TO MY POST,IT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME.HEY THAT DRINK SOUNDS GOOD.THANK YOU ALSO FOR THE WEBSITE.WHAT OTHER DRINKS DO YOU DRINK?ARE YOU ABLE TO GET ALL PROTEIN IN?LET ME KNOW OK,THANKS.YOUR FRIEND BONNIE

I like the EAS bars. They are a little chalky but I like the apple cinamon and the lemon cheesecake bars. I only eat them once in a while. She forgot the protein drink Bonnie, but it is in the GNC Stores and has to be 100% whey (not soy whey) and the are in the back in a black container. She did tell me the name, but of course, I did not have a pen to write it down at all. Good luck - if you want to try a bar let me know and I would even send you one of each to try before you buy them since I have so many. Joe Hutter Dover, DE

The nectar is 23 gms protein per scoop. I add 2 scoops to about 18 oz of water (46 gms total) and sip on it all day at work. I also LOVE the IDS Cappiccinno flavor. 23 gms protein per scoop. I drink it in place of my coffee every morning. There's a trick to mixing it if you want it hot. I get a 20 oz bottle and put 2oz of room temp water in it. I put my scoop of powder in that and shake. While shaking the bottle I put about 10oz of water in the microwave for 3 minutes. Keep shaking the bottle until the other water is hot. Pour out the bottle into my travel coffee mug then quickly pour the ho****er over it. WaLa, nice hot cappiccino. Good head of foam on it too. It says to mix the powder with only 8 oz water but I think it's too sweet like that so I go with 12 oz. I also drink Nectar's Peach Fuzzy navel flavor. I mix it just like I do the Cherry. I will bring you a scoop of each to the next meeting on the 7th if you'd like to try. Dee

Well congratulations on an almost perfect checkup. The protein shakes that I use are with unjury powder. We found a cool way to make them. Get this ice cream called Carb alert chocolate flavor, put that in a blender with a little bit of carb countdown chocolate milk & put in a half a scoop of chocolate unjury. By the time you are done blending you have a double chocolate shake that makes getting the protein down alot easier & it tastes good too!!! good luck

Hey Kimmie-poo! Glad to see you finally posting here. How are you doing? How much have you lost? You looked so great when you visited me in the hospital. That was fun. How's Rosalia? I couldn't remember when her surgery date was. I seem to remember late in July but I don't know exactly what day. Please tell her I said hello and I'm wondering what class she's taking this fall. I'm finishing up Management Information Systems on Monday then I start Finance on the 29th. You guys should come up to the PMRI meeting on the 7th. It's gonna be a good one "Do relationships change after WLS?" I know mine has! Hubby is so sweet and caring, always hugging & smoochin on me when we're together! And I've only lost 24 pounds!!! I haven't even reached the weight I was when we met! He's such a goof! Love is blind I guess.

Rosie & I are doing really well. I've lost 47 pounds & she's lost 28 pounds. I think she's doing better though. She hasn't had to take her insulin since she left the hospital!!! I may come on the 7th. I haven't been to any support groups yet. I should go considering we already paid for them. I'm glad to here that you are doing well, and I'm glad that hubby has been supportive. Jason and I are doing ok. He tells me how proud of me he is and how beautiful I am. I think we got the pick of the litter!!! Hope to see you soon. Kim
