Go to a E.R.... I don't know if your Doc will touch this.
That's why I tell people to get Banded in your state.
I know it's cheaper, but is it worth the risk !

Aloha,
The Protein shake that I came across was the same as SarahLW. It is Shakeology, we use the
Chocoalte one. Not too big of a fan of their othe flavor greenberry. It helps your body gently eliminate toxins more efficiently while allowing for better absorption of the essential nutrients the body needs.
My husband lost 30 lbs on it (no lap band). For him it was a big transformation because he is in the military and cannot afford to be overweight or not pass his PT (Physical fitness test). Being that his father has diabetes he likes to watch for the glycemic index. This product is certified as having a low glycemic index. We got his father on it too so it would curve his sugar cravings, lol.
The Shakeology site is below. It gives you plenty of info, along with Doctor's testimonials.

Take Care!

which one do you use? and how many times per day, and what are the benefits have you been losing with this protein( cause i know Protein plays a very important part in our weight lost).

I have been using shakeology. I order it from the internet. Havent got my band yet, but I drink one in the morning with skim milk and it keeps me good for about 4 hours. So if it is good now I bet it is just fine after surgery. Get on the beachbody, shakeology sight and check it out. It seems a bit expensive at first but it is a 30day supply and is actually cheaper in the long run that buying breakfast every morning.
