Saturday Java!
Remember - if you mix protein in your coffee, it needs to be 130 degrees or cooler, otherwise it will clump and taste BAD! I got a small thermometer I use to test it. I actually use all kinds of protein - have a carmel/choc right now, used a choc/mint (my favorite) but it was pretty high in calories, so I would put 1 scoop of it and 1 scoop of the vanilla (take a 20 oz cup to work with me, so I put 2 scoops in it).
You can also use an unflavored, and use the SF syrups to get your flavoring (french vanilla, hazelnut, etc). I picked mine up at Sams Club.

I'm with you Deb, I've tried some crazy diets. The liquid protien that both hubby and I went on for a month really worked, we both lost more than 30 pounds, but like you, as soon as we started 'eating' again we put it all, plus some, back on. The liquid protien wasn't hard to stay with, but the liquid potassium was simply gag!
I think this rny will be my answer. I certainly hope so.

QOTD-I've done tons of fad diets. 
I did the, slim fast, liquid protein, grapefruit and had friends do the cabbage soup. I couldn't do that one as I hate cooked cabbage. The best/easiest for me was Atkins. I was on it for 3 years, lost 60 the first year, lost and gained 20 more the second and held my own the third. Than all hell broke lose and I gained it all back.
My sister had a DS and has been basically doing Atkins so I figured I could do this. The surgeon said if I made it three years on Atkins I should be a good candidate for WLS. I hope he is right!

BAND REMOVED 9-4-12-fought insurance to get sleeve and won! Sleeved 1/22/13! Five years out and trying to get that last 15 pounds back off.
Well, in about 30 minutes it won't be Saturday anymore, but I figure better late than never.
Sounds like everyone had a good day. We came to the inlaws Friday afternoon. We'll head home in the morning sometime. Spent the day with my sister and my bro and his family and my inlaws. We made homemade pizzas for dinner. 7 of them, all cooked in cast iron skillets, to be exact. They are so good.
It just started raining here tonight, with a little thunder and lightning thrown in. Hope it doesn't last too long...but not holding my breath.
Catch everyone in the morning, over coffee or whatever it is you choose to drink. Tina
