Happy Place and Profect Protein

2 completely unrelated topics...I think I have finally found my happy place. It has been a long time and coming. My depression was slowly lifting and happiness is setting in. I have never been fashionable so to speak. Well that is changing and I find a love for looking good. I think I am finally able to see what everone else sees. Thought I'd share since you were all there durning the dark days! Wondering if anyone has tried the Profect Protein advertised on OH? I like the idea of getting so much protein in so little serving but it is rather expensive. Thanks everyone and have a great week! ~Van

Glad you are feeling better Van! I've been there too. Haven't tried the Profect Protein, so can't help you there. Just wanted to say hi! Hugs, Theresa

Thanks Theresa! You are always a great cheerleader! Miss you! ~Van

Good that you're doing better. About the protein - Since we are made smaller in the pouch to slow down our eating it makes sense that the nutrients move through slow. If you take a compact protein source and it rambles through without an absorbtion aid we will lose those nutrients? As I understand it, it is best to have no more than 27 grams of protein over and hour. Does that help? I would save your dough and use conventional sources. kp @ goal

That makes a lot of sense! Thanks because it is really expensive. You know us women, if it has a large price tag, we think it MUST be better! That must be why Terri married you...HAHA! Seriously, thanks I think I'll have a Bocca burger for dinner. ~Van

Hey, i am so happy that your smiling again...i have no idea about the protein, but what kevin says made a lot of sense. Hey when you coming back to michigan? Hugs Linda

Hey Vanessa - Someone shared this on the DS board and thought you might be interested. D ************************************************* Hello everone I just thought I'd share this coupon for Profect if anyone is interested. Here's the link https://www.niceoffers.com/21505/10233 It's only 15% off but since that stuff is so expensive I thought every little bit you can save is better than nothing Well hope this can save someone some bucks!

Vanessa- I am glad that you have found your happy place. That makes 2 of us. I have met the most awesome man. I feel like a kid again. Keep on being the wonderful person you are. Hugs- Char

I have some of the Profect and I took a vial to my surgeon. This protein is not soy or whey based, it is an amino acid based and if this is used as your main source of protein, it can lead to muscle wasting. My surg said they are ok for a pinch, but not good for MAJOR usage. My nut described it as "incomplete" and it was not a "great" choice, but ok for the occasional use. I liked the taste pre-op and now I can barely stand it! Just my 2 cents. Tiffany
