Imagine pudding that's good for you!!!! The only down side o it is so far she has found you can only get it online at: http://www.unjury.com/reg/bariatric.shtml I was going to start buying different types of protein shakes to try and have in the house but she told me that your taste tends to change after surgery. Things you like now, you may not like later and things you don't like now you will like later. I don't know if this is something Kris and Terri have yet encountered but with protein shakes being so expensive I don't want to blow money on something to just toss it away. Another site what has lots of different types of shakes is: http://store.bariatriceating.com/proteinpowders.html There are so many different types and even sample packs it's hard to imagine someone NOT finding something they don't like. There is one brand they carry there I'd like to try and it's called "Zero Carb Isopure" Details: The Original...Zero Carb Isopure. Superb nutrition! A meal replacement shake fortified with vitamins and minerals. One of the best tasting and smoothest blending protein shakes. Two scoops contain 50 grams of 100% pure ion exchange whey protein isolate, the purest, best quality protein available for our body. No fat, no lactose, and zero carbs (chocolate nets out to .5 carbs per scoop.) Sweetened with Splenda. An excellent base for making frosty, thick, and delicious blender shakes Some of these shakes on bariatriceating.com can be found locally at GNC or any other nutrition type of center but there prices are really great as shopped around online and compared prices. Another place to find protein shakes..... Ebay! Yep I've found them there also. Not used either brand new un-used.... So I hope this helps you out and anyone else in the market to find something to supplement their protein intake!!! Big Hugs! NaDene

Hi hon...how are you? Long time, no see. All the older board members don't come around much anymore. I've missed you.........how are things? Is the hubby still on target with having surgery? You both must be pretty stoked that you'll be having surgery together this year. I'm going to see Dr. Roye Friday and I should get a date. We'll see. Email when you can. Miss ya. Shel
