Topic: Protein Drinks
Hi!
I have not had my RNY yet, but am pre-op.  I was told/given a grocery list for post op.  Any advice on which brand/flavor protein drinks to get?  What are the best ones?  Which ones are easiest to get down? 

Curious about drinking them too - do you ever actually finish the entire drink?  It seems like you wont get much in since your stomach pouch is actually SO small.  And how can you drink THAT much water if its that small too??

Thanks in advance!
I CANNOT wait!  :)

Maria,

You are so hard on yourself, girl! 50 pounds, wow, this is great! You are a short girl like me and we just like to go a little slower than others do! LOL! Imagine what you felt like with 50 pounds still on you! I know you feel better and you know deep down inside you that you are blossoming! Stay the course, eat healthy, remember that the band is only a tool, not a "miracle worker"! Congratulations on your sucessful accomplishment and keep on keeping on! Love ya! :)
P.S. Go outside and pick up something 50 pounds  and carry it for 1 min. and see how that will make you feel! Good reality check!

If you need a boost, a push, some movation do I have the answer for you! Make plans to attend an OH Event near you, if one comes! My hubby and I attend one this past weekend in Houston, Texas! It was awesome! Speakers were well informed and at the top of their profession! We met some new OH friends and got to see a enjoy the company of a old OH friend, who was the only other one there representing the OH members from Georgia! We both were in the fashion show and YES, we looked awesome! Hope you all can join us on the next one when it comes to town!
