COME YALL WAKE UP!!! :-p

ok yall i am new to this site, but want to get to know alot of people that are on this site. our message board is sooooooooo quiet I am from Stonewall, La. Am going through all of my pre op testing at the present moment. I will start off asking, which of the protein drinks are the best tasting??? I haven't been brave enough yet to even attempt to drink any yet. But want to know which ones are going to be the best tasting without me all over!!!! Come on yall let's get yackin!!

I had to skip most of the clear liquid phase because of an allergy. Now, I drink Juice Plus Complete. It's not super high on protein (13 grams), but it's full of other vitamins and taste wonderful. I think I still have Protein Ice in the cabinet...wonder when it's gonna mutate? Welcome to this board. Where's Stonewall??? Frances Journey: http://www.francesspencer.blogspot.com

Stonewall is a little town south of Shreveport.. out in the boonies. But I love it out here. Thanks for the info, will definitely try it out and see how we do with it. Have read alot of your posts and your blog, love your personality!!!!!!And thanks for the warm welcome to the board. Lori

Hi Lori! This is your bud from from Dr. Merriman's office. The one that checked your insurance? Also a fellow Stonewall-ite. Stonewaller. How would you say that? Anyway, I'm glad to see this board is picking up a little. We had a support group meeting last night, it was good to see some of our post-op's I haven't seen in awhile. You should plan to attend them after surgery. I didn't after my surgery and I really think I would have done better long term if I had. Feb. 13th will be my 7 year WLS anniversary I can't believe it's been that long ago! I'm sure I will be talking to you soon.

Hi Hun!!! I plan on going to every possible meeting I can get my happy behind into Post Op. Wish I could get in a little faster with the psych eval though . Hoping that there will be some cancellations so mine will be moved up. I am bad for wishing that??? Sorry if I am. But as spongebob says...I'M READDDDDDY!!!! lol As far as Stonewallite, I have no clue we live in the boonies though lol. Hope to hear more from you soon, and really hope to hear those words YOU ARE APPROVED sometime in the very near future. Hugs n stuff!!! Lori

Hi Lori. I work in the bariatric center down from Dr. Merriman's. When you come to your nutritional instruction from Lisa Stansbury, she has some great protein samples to give to you. We just got a shipment of Unjury protein isolate in and it is great. See you soon & welcome aboard.

Hi Lori! I am just over a year post op. I have lost 80 pounds. I am now fighting the fearful head hunger thing. I hate head hunger!! Anyway, I never found a protein drink that I could choke down. I tried the Nectars, Whey Fruity and the Unjury unflavored. I have finally found something that I can do. I use the Pro Perfomance liquid protein from GNC. I take 3 tablespoons (from a medicine cup) and down it. It has 18 grams of protein in the 3 tablespoons. It kinda has a fruit punch flavor. I would think you could put it in sf kool aid or crystal lite if you want. I just get it over with in one fell swoop. If I was you I would not order a huge tub of the stuff just yet. After surgery your taste will change a whole lot. Things you like today you might not afterwards. Get samples. There are alot of sites that sells them. Good luck to ya! Rhonda 225/145/130

When I went to Lisa Stansberry the Reg. Dietician for my consult she gave me some samples of the different kinds.I too have been kinda apprehensive to try them,might everywhere too.But I am gonna bite the bullet probably later today and try them.
