bummer.  but still soon at least!

I am 3 weeks post op this Wednesday and slowly but steadily moving along :-) I am back at work, so this means packing food items for my lunch and snacks. I have come across these products by Protilife that range from soups, protein shakes, soups, drinks and snack bars..not in the snack bar stage yet..but are curious about the other products. They are advertised to be high in protein..low in sugar..however a little high in carbs when I look at the nutritional facts. I will be meeting with my NUT in the next week and will be asking about these products. I was just wondering if anyone has heard or tried them. I am still using the Beneprotein in foods..however these seem like they would be very convenient to bring to work.

Thanks.

Available at Jean Coutu, Pharmaprix, Walmart, Uniprix and select Loblaws and Maxi stores.

The Beneprotein is between 21.95 and 24.95 a canister depending on the pharmacy. I found that pricey when I would need 6 canisters. I looked online and found much better deals on Amazon..even ebay may be cheaper too.

For Sweet Sylvie- I am now 10 days post op and in the semi-liquid phase..so I am able to have small amounts of cream soups and fat free Jello pudding. Campbell's Low fat Cream of Broccoli..if you like it..works well..and I find when I add Beneprotein to the chocolate pudding I don't even taste it, Its great ! :-)

Just a little reminder that the weight loss support meeting is this Wednesday Oct.16 7-9pm.

We have a very special guest speaker and that is Nutritionist Kim Arrey
