14 months out and wow has life changed
It's been a long time since I've posted, but thought it would be good to reconnect. I have lost almost all the weight, 10 pounds to go, the hardest 10 pounds ever. Shortly after surgery I got a dog, she was supposed to be a pit bull, however she is a great Dane pit mix, she's a bit bigger then I thought she would be, but I lover her to death. The man I had a secret crush on for the last three years and I have been together for eight months and are getting married in three weeks. We picked out are rings today, very exciting. Life has changed so much in such a short time, I never thought I would be this happy:) Oh were going to bear week in P-Town in July, this should be fun, I hope...Anyways this has been an exciting journey and I've love every minute of it. Does any one have a suggestion on a good protein drink, all the one I have tried make me gage. I think I'm laking in protein, I still can't eat a whole lot, maybe 1/2 a cup at a meal, is this enough or normal? Check out my new photos
I've found some good shakes at BariatricChoice.com, I like one that is premade in a can (sorry I dont know the exact name, but you'll see it on the website). It has almost 30 grams of protein in it!!! Another good one on the site, but not as much protein, is wonderslim. It's a creamcicle flavor. It's portable because it comes in it's own individual bottle, just mix with water and go. I keep a few in my car.
My surgery was May 15th 2009 and I am down 30pds. Crazy! I can't wait to reflect a year later. tell me, did you work out often? I need to increase this....

My favorite protein powder drinks are:
Syntrax Nectar Cappuccino - mixed with 2oz of skim milk and 6 oz of cold water - mixes with spoon and add ICE - I drink this one almost everyday - tastes like iced coffee from Dunkin Donuts- thin consistency and yummy
Syntrax Nectar Roadside Lemonade - Mix 1 scoop with 1 to go pack of Crystal Light Sunrise or Pink Lemonade and 24 oz of water and ice.
BSN - Lean Dessert Protein - Vanilla or Cinnamon Bun - these are thick milkshake drinks - I love the Cinnamon Bun mixed with 6 oz cold water for breakfast on the go. My favorite with the vanilla is - add 1/2 cup of frozen peaches (I just freeze canned ones), 2 oz of skim milk, 4 oz of cold water, 1 oz of Divinci Vanilla SF syrup and a teaspoon of cinnamon - I then put it in the freezer for a 1/2 hour - eat it with a spoon - TASTES LIKE PEACH cobbler!
As for Ready to Drink in a can - my favorite is PURE PROTIEN - bananna or vanilla! 32 grams of protein.
