Hey Lee,
You know I'm a lapbander, but my NUT advises that I get all of my protein in through food. When I told her that I was drinking a protein drink every morning, she told me to stop immediately. For me, the protein drinks were just extra calories. Now I eat every 3 hours to get it all in.

Hey Tel

I still eat every 3 hours also, but I was getting a bit nerveous cause it seems like everyone drinks their protein, I would rather continue to get it thru food.

I ordered a sample of that protein on the go to see if it may be good for my trip. I always fall short on protein when I travel. If I can tolerate it that would be great for travel

Sonjia,
Beans have a lot of protein. I also drink soy milk that has a lot of protein as well.
