Congrats!!!!

I use the ready to drink shakes that are only available at Costco.  Premier Nutrition Protein Chocolate Shake 30 grams per shake.  They are $23 for 18 shakes.

Wooooo hoooooo Congratulations!!!   That is fantastic.

Keep up the great work.  I can't wait to hear more progress reports from you.  So exciting!

The EAS ready to drink at walmart and the body fortress whey protein powder also at walmart. 

I am who I am and accept my feelings wholeheartedly.

That's awesome...smash that cpap machine!  LOL! 

I make my protein shakes with milk, greek yogurt, fruit, splenda, and protein powder.  I've found that blending it in the blender, even if it's just milk (or water) does not leave any grittiness.

Hi Brian,
       I get the Gold Standard which you can get from GNC or the Vitamin shoppe. I use skim milk with it also I use Herbalife Healthy meal Shake mix with the Herbalife Protein drink mix. They are a little more expensive but you can mix it with water and it is great. I use the Double chocolate in the gold standard and I use Vanilla protein drink and French vanilla healthy meal and I add frozen strawberries or bananas to it and it is fantastic. You have to find a dealer in Herbalife to buy it. I also take their Aminogen pill which turns the excess protein into amino acids to help fight fat. Hope this helps. All of these products only have 1g or less in sugar so you shouldn't have any problem with either of them. I use the 2 Herbalife products together and i do 2 scoops of the Gold standard if I just use that and I switch off between the products so they don't get boring. So thats 2 scoops of gold standard with 16 oz of skim milk =  48G of protein. The Herbalife is 2 scoops of the Healthy Meal Shake mix = 9G of protein and with the 2 tablespoons of Protein drink it adds 15 G of protein with 8oz of cold water to that when you mix the two together.

thanks all! this all seems so surreal! when my pcp told me i was in perfect health (other than needing to shed a few more pounds) i was like..."who, me?"

its still hard for me to hear, how much thinner/smaller/lighter i look. i know its true, but im like no they cant mean me! then i come to my senses and i feel so good! they say how much have ya last. i say whatever it is that i have lost... people's eyeball about pop out of thier heads! its such a great feeling!

since the beginning of december, when someone asks how i am, i always respond "fantastic!" and thats how i feel! i cannot believe how much happier i am now.

this morning, i woke my wife up by jumping up and down on my bed like a 5 year old! after my wife's shock, she was amazed that i could do that (and so was i!) then she wanted to kick my butt for waking her up so early!

i will try all your guys suggestions! i have tried the body fortress from walmart, i think that i dont stir it enough so i will give that a go as well!

thanks for the continued support! i do read posts when i can, work has been crazy! in a great way!

till next time!

What a great job, Brian, CONRATULATIONS!  I always liked Syntrax Nectar, until I tried the powder from Walmart, it's the 1 with 52 g. of protein/2 scoops.  Sometimes I use 1 scoop, sometimes 2.  Mixes easily with any other liquid.  Is the same size, but half the price.  NOT gritty at all!  I plan to use this until I've reached goal weight.  I've also started giving my husband for lunch, everyday, mixed with skim milk and banana.  I like the chocolate and the cookies n cream flavors.  Good luck and keep up the good work!

Jilly turned me on to one from walmart that isnt bad. Im not close to say exactly what its called. I got chocolate and mix with my coffee but I wish I had gotten vanilla since I'm more of a vanilla coffee person???

Brian, you cannot stir protein... You really have to shake it baby! LOL  I've tried stirring it before and it just doesn't work right.
