SPLENDA SUGAR

Hi everyone ,does anyone know anything about revival soy,I recieved an e-mail about it and wasnt sure if it was worth it.On a 30 day trial bases is $45.For 30 shakes which has like 20 grams of protein.What do yall think? Plus im having a craving for some tea really bad so I was wondering would it hurt anything as long as I use splenda sugar?Ive never used splenda sugar .Does anyone have any suggestions.Thanks...

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT "SOY" SHAKES IN PARTICULAR, BUT YOU CAN GET PROTEIN SHAKE POWDER (5 #s AT LEAST) FOR ANYWHERE FROM ABOUT $15.00 (WAL*MART) TO AN AVERAGE OF ABOUT $35.00 SO IT SEEMS A LITTLE EXPENSIVE TO ME, BUT I COULD BE WRONG. LOOK AT ... bariatriceating.com THEIR SHAKE POWDERS ARE PRICED ABOUT MIDDLE TO UPPER MIDDLE OF THE PRICE RANGE. ALSO ... vitaminshoppe.com I ACTUALLY CARRY SPLENDA AROUND EVERYWHERE I GO, MS MARYANN; NICK & I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT. NOOOOOOOOO SUGAR IN OUR HOME AT ALL FOR OVER A YEAR. IT TASTES SO CLOSE TO SUGAR THAT YOU'LL NEVER KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. AS FOR TEA, I DRINK IT DAILY ... THE THINKING IS THAT IT HAS A DIURETIC EFFECT SO IF YOU AREN'T GETTING IN ENOUGH FLUIDS, IT COULD HELP CAUSE DEHYDRATION. SO, NOT TO WORRY AS LONG AS YOU ARE DRINKING AROUND 64 OZ A DAY IN FLUIDS. I USE THE CRYSTAL LITE DRINKS AS WELL ... BUT, TEA IS MY FAVORITE & THE ONLY THING I CAN CONSISTENTLY DRINK WITHOUT MY POUCH GROUCHING. AFTER THE 1st MONTH OR SO, (PER MY SURGEON) ... THE ABSOLUTE RULES OF EATING AREN'T AS IMPORTANT AS MAKING SURE YOU GET IN YOUR FLUIDS, PROTEINS ... INCREASE YOUR CALORIES ... EXERCISE & EAT BALANCED. GOD BLESS DAWN & NICK

Your weight loss pics are great, ms maryann ... I added you to our sc weight-loss list, so how much have you lost?

Hi dawn...Ive lost 85 so far im not putting any after pics up till I actually lose the big 100 pounds.I dont know how to do any special things to my profile so all those were sent at different times but the one in the red shirt was before surgery and the others were taken 2 or 3 months before surgery.I really want to put an after pic up but im patiently waiting ,in those pics I have no neck and my face is huge .I toke some pics recently and I couldnt believe that was me.Ive never seen that size of me at all .I cant remember at all being under 200.Its a great feeling.I would like to lose 60 more and I will be satisfied.

I'M IN MY 18th DAY OF A MAJOR STALL & TRYING TO KEEP MY GOOD HUMOR ABOUT IT! I'VE LOST THE SAME POUND ABOUT 50 TIMES, IT SEEMS! I PUT YOU ON THE LIST, MS MARYANN, & LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR 100 #s-LOST PICTURES! LET US KNOW WHEN YOU POST THEM. OH MERCY; I KNOW JUST WHAT YOU MEAN ... WAIT TILL YOU SEE MY HOSPITAL PICS ... I WAS SOOOO BLOATED THAT I DIDN'T EVEN LOOK LIKE MYSELF. IN MY "BEFORE" PICS, I'M SO "SQUARE" THAT I LOOK LIKE A FOOTBALL LINEBACKER ... WHEN DID I GET THAT HUGE? SOMEHOW I NEVER LOOKED "THAT" BIG TO MYSELF IN THE MIRROR. I ALWAYS KNEW I WAS OBESE, BUT THESE PICS ARE UNBELIEVABLE TO MY MIND'S EYE. I ASKED NICK THE OTHER DAY IF I LOOKED THAT BIG TO HIM WHEN I REALLY WAS THAT BIG. HE SAID, "YES, BUT I LOVE YOU SO IT DIDN'T MATTER TO ME." HOW WAS I EVER SO BLESSED TO GET THIS MAN? I SURE DIDN'T DESERVE SUCH A LOVING MAN AS NICHOLAS! GOD BLESS DAWN & NICK

Hello Maryann... I am not sure about the shakes... But as for splenda I need to buy stock in it... We use more than a bag a week in my family... We use it for everything that we would use sugar for...We make a gallon of tea a day at my house with splenda... I could not live with out it... I just hope the price will soon come down.... I hope you enjoy your shakes... Brenda....

Splenda is the bomb!!! I love that stuff in my coffee and my big bottles of kool-aid. Don't know anything about revival soy, but I did just get a huge container of Grape Whey Fruity brand flavored whey protein (26 g protein per scoop) and this stuff is really good! No chalky aftertaste at all like you get with the chocolate ones. It is Splenda sweetened and best of all I only paid $16.95 for it because it is on special right now. Here is the link http://store.bariatriceating.com/wheyfruity1.html It is a great change from chocolate and vanilla! Cheers Lisa

VIOLIET, ON THE OCTOBER 2005 BOARD, TOLD ME ABOUT THIS STUFF ... THERE IS A CHOCOLATE MINT PROTEIN POWDER THAT SHE SAYS TASTES LIKE YOU'RE DRINKING THOSE GIRL SCOUT COOKIES ... HAVEN'T TRIED IT YET BUT AM PLANNING TO. http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/dym/elite.html DON'T REMEMBER IF I MENTIONED IT BEFORE BUT, A LOT OF PEOPLE SEEM TO LIKE VERY BERRY VANILLA & FUZZY NAVEL FROM ... bariatriceating.com ENJOY & GOD BLESS DAWN & NICK
