1.) Champion ProScore 100 choco + 8 oz water + ice, blended (hand blender or Magic Bullet).
2.) Champion Pure Whey Stack choco + 6-8 oz water, shaken.
3.) IDS vanilla-cinnamon + "glop" of DaVinci sugar free caramel sauce + 8 oz water + ice, blended.
4.) the PWS chco + the van-cin (50/50) in about 10 oz ho****er, stirred or hand blender.
Lately I've been adding a shake of cinnamon to my hot ones since cinnamon fights belly fat.
I always put 1 scoop of UpCal D powder in (500mg calcium citrate, 250 IU of vit D3).
30g protein, less than 3g sugar, under 200 cal each

P.S. My year + long absence has NOTHING to do with my WLS, or my type of WLS. See my profile.
Ladies, (and guys too if you are reading), I have been using Dymatize and MetRX proteins for three years now. Previous to having LapBand surgery, I worked out 5 days a week with a personal trainer in my home. He recommended Dymatize which had 31 grams of protein per serving. It tasted awesome. They had many other flavors a few years ago, but recently revamped their product line. I have tried nearly EVERY protein shake out there, and I can tell you that Dymatize is the best tasting, most protein, and least amount of calories or carbs for you. Currently I am using MetRX Vanilla powder, which I mix with a little OJ, alot of water, milk, and ice and a few strawberries. It tastes like something from Orange Julius. I guarantee you can't hate this stuff. If you blend it for a minute, it becomes thick and if you make two servings of this drink, you will get your 60+ grams of protein per day. There are 34 grams of protein in this shake. I can also tell you that if you do not get your protein, that yes, y our hair will fall out. Mine started too, because I thought that I was "above" having to consume that much protein per day, based on the fact that I trained for a year prior to losing (and gaining it all back), but I had a great strong physique, and rarely got sick. Well, I am humbled, and now I am a strong advocate of getting the right vitamins, and protein in your daily routine so that the surgery is a success, rather than a regret. So...wwww.dymatize.com and metRX are good sources of good tasting protein shakes.
