Protein Shakes/Bars which is the best kind?

how about eggs, yougert, kashi cereal, try something new.

That is a good idea too. I do eat eggs and yogert but kashi cereal too makes me sleepy…lol do you like egg beaters?

I've been using the RVL Meal Replacement Shakes from Mona Vie along with a supplement capsule and a protein bar. I drink a shake in the morning with a capsule. It fills me up and gives me energy. I usually stay full till 12-1, then I have a sensible lunch. Sometimes I get a little hungry in the afternoon so I'll eat a half of a protein bar. Then for dinner I usually drink another shake and take a capsule and I'm pretty well done for the day. Sometimes I'll eat a healthy dinner, just depends on my schedule and how I feel. Since I started these shakes about a month and a half ago I've dropped 25 lbs, my hair isn't falling out anymore and I feel great!! Overall since LapBand I'm down 100 lbs.

i don't understand any of this. I eat 1 serving of Cream of Wheat + 4 oz of fat-free, sugar-free yogurt every morning for breakfast. (total=170 calories) I don't know why there is any talk of these shakes or breakfast bars which I imagine have too many calories. It is important to eat as you will for the rest of your life. currently 14 weeks post-op, down 67 pounds

I will be sure to check you out on your blog.. Cream of Wheat? Does it keep you full? I will try it. You have a point about eating for the rest of your life.

I guess I should add, I have not had a protein shake since I was on the liquid statge of lap band. I had surgary 4/4/11 and have lost 95 pounds since then. I have 50 left to go! I have lost no hair and have stayed healthy. I eat a lot of protein, but I eat often. I am one of those people who has to eat 6 small meals a day and it works for me. Here is what I ate yesterday if it helps.

activia yogurt with a 1/4 cup kashi go lean crunch in it.

home made latte ( 1 cup skim milk)

sliced truckey sauage (1)

Taco time white bean chicken chili (under 200 cals for less than a cup)

6 cherry tomatos and 1 sting cheese

1/2 of a two hundred cal turkey healthy choice with fruit meal

lots of water

Looking at this I need to get more veggies in, so today I will have some kind of salad with more veggies!

Enjoy your lap-band and eat, you need bulk, not slider foods

You should try lebrada protein drinks, they have 40 grams of protein and taste pretty good. Im also in my 7th week.
