Vegan protein shakes: unacceptably bad
Yep. Don't like 'em.
Know what else I don't like? This whole FB thing.
I've said previously that, clearly, *I* am very open about my surgery. I've never hidden it or any aspect of it from anyone. It's all over here, all over my blog and all over FB. HOWEVER, *I* am the one who decides what to put on my FB page. If someone posts something on there that is unacceptable (which rarely happens), I have to ability to remove it.
Not everyone is as open as I, for reasons that do not, I feel, need any explanation. What I truly find objectionable is that any OH users who have NOT "outed" themselves to family, friends and the world have come to OH thinking that they have found a relatively "safe haven", thinking that their posts would go nowhere but here, may find their names (even if it's just a user name), images (from avatars, etc.) and thoughts plastered all over OHFB if their comments are deemed worthy of dissemination by OH.
That breach of trust, to me, is a horrible, loathesome mistake on OH's part. I just cannot fathom why they don't see that this is objectionable to a lot of us.

Banded 10 years & maintaining my weight loss!! Any questions, message me.
No, it's not completely. I am happy to share that protein bars and drinks that are pea-protein-based are horrifying. I should have read the fine print more carefully. I made the assumption that it would be SOY based, since SOY is (I believe) still a vegetable.

Heres a really GREAT one ... Spirutein from Nature's Plus ( available at GNC) - three part high protein energy meal- rice pea and Soy protein.
the Strawberry flavor tastes EXACTLY like nestles strawberry milk... it has zero fat , 10 grams carbs and 14 grams protein per 90 calorie scoop .
Chocolate is Ok ..
EGGNOG is the world s BEST flavor if you can find it !
My non-vegan non-dieting gavoon of a landlord was so crazy about the strawberry he'd keep sneaking in my apartment and drinking it all just for the taste ...
its GREAT stuff 
if you really want to make it extra special use a dollop of almond silk or non fat milk and a tiny spoon of haagen dazs lowfat vanilla frogurt ... heaven ..

Thank you SO MUCH, Something Else! I have my RNY 2/28/2012 & I want to go vegan. I'm going to order some of the Spirutein shakes NOW so I have them at the ready. I don't want to eat just scrambled eggs & bananas after my surgery.
On that note, what did you eat immediately AFTER your surgery?
BTW, I took down my Facebook page. Too difficult to control my privacy on it. It's changed so much since I got on it in 2007. No fun anymore.

I ate a ton of Polish soupmixes .... chili with almond milk vegan cheese , and protein shakes. Protein shakes are a BIG part of my diet even today ( I use them as creamers to start my day with chai tea and or / organic coffee )
" bleu cheese " tofu cheese is also amazing and soft ... and I ate lowfat hummus . I do eat fish and I tried to eat that and couldn't get past the " fishyness" until suddenly I DID ...
the only thing I would warn you about is have gas-x ready by the bedside... I got terrible gas pains ( maybe from the occasional beans ?) EVERY afternoon like clockwork .
I also really craved baby mescluna nd baby spinach salads so I ate those with fat free dressing ...homemade fresh tabouleh with finely diced tomatoes ... actually I ate a really balanced and super healthy diet :) and the GREAT thing was I healed like a HORSE ... no complications , no constipation ... tons of energy .
Even my skin snapped back ! Good luck with Ur upcoming surgery !
