another protien drink question

Ok, I was wondering, when you all buy the protein drinks, how long does the container of it last you? I see alot of them online are like 5lbs. I want to have enough for the first couple of months, but I also want a variety to try out. At least a few. What do you all buy and how many pounds or ounces is it? And what is the best deal out there???

Girl, please do not buy a large container now. Your tastes change so much after surgery that something you try now and like...you may very well hate it after surgery. My suggestion is to get your hands on as many samples as you can. I lived on samples right after surgery. Also, my support group had a guy come in from Smoothie King and they brought TONS of samples of all different kinds of proteins and that was where I found the protein of my dreams. IDS brand Belgium Chocolate. No after taste and it tastes delish. If you have support group meetings close to you, definitly call up the people who deal in the stuff and they will be more than glad to come to your meetings and give out the samples!

thanks for replying. I was just telling my husband the same thing after I wrote that. I'll have to load up on the samples. How is the isopure? have you ever had it? I see that it has like 50 grams of protein, but almost hate to even get a sample if its really gritty. Again, thank you so much for replying. It helps me out alot!

Hi Lora, this is kinda off of your original topic but I was wondering if you knew anything about the support meetings in Murphysboro? If so maybe we can meet up and get to one if you like. I just am not all that comfortable going to somewhere where there are people that I just don't know. Get in touch and let me know. Anita

Hey girl! How ya doing? The have the meetings the 2nd Thursday of each month in the cafeteria at St. Josephs from I think 6-8pm. I've not ever been to one, but really really need to go. So yeah, if you want to go next week, I'll be more than happy to go with you. I could meet you up at King Tuts about 5:15 or so and you could ride with me if you'd like. Just let me know!

I'll be there this Thurs. also. Can't wait to meet all of you. This is going to be a great year!! Andrea

thats cool! I'll see you there!

I dont mean to interrupt Anita,but me and Dix went to that group in Murphysboro and they are great .They meet every second Thursday of the month.The next meeting is Thursday Jan 13,2005.Il be there for sure maybe we all can meet up there....

Hey Lora and Chandra that sounds like a good idea to me. There is also a seminar in Paducah at Lourdes on Jan. 27, I think its 7-9. If anyone would like to go let me know and we can get these plans going. Anita

This is not even on the protein question but the support group thing, i have just found that my dr is submitting my stuff to my insurance co. I almost cried!! I am going to the support group meeting on Thursday also , did you say that the meeting started at 6:00. i work in Carbondale and live in Johnston City and do not want to drive back and forth. Thanks and congrats on surgery date Lora!!! Nanette
