Hey Family!

I have not been on here in a while....I have missed you guys. I am doing well...it has been a year and a half since my gastric bypass surgery and I have no regrets! The weight loss has slowed down (as expected) but I still set myself small goals and continue to reach them. The only issue I seem to have is getting all my needed protein w/o still having to drink a protein shake daily. I hope everyone else is doing great! Would love to hear from you. Later Losers....

I started using meal replacement shakes YEARS before surgery, mainly because they give me great nutrion for not a lot of calories.  My daughter drinks one every day before school, and she has kept her weight loss of over 100 pounds from creeping back.  I know some folks aren't into protein drinks or meal replacements, but I swear by them.

My favorite meal replacement drink is Chike -- I get 28 grams of protein and a good supply of all my vitamins & supplements for 180 calories -- way better than any meal I can make in my kitchen.

What is the difference between a protein drink & a meal replacement?  Think chicken, veggies & starch - not just chicken on your dinner plate.  It is a COMPLETE food, with a great source of nutrition (not just protein), and it saves me calories (and money).

My two cents!
