Hi everyone! WOW - lots of posts to get through since I was on last! So nice to have a very active blog!
I was banded on April 5th and have lost 26 pounds so far! started at 262, was at 253 pre-op, and today 236 yay!
I wanted to share something with everyone- I FINALLY FOUND AN AWESOME Protein POWDER!!!! I was having a lot of trouble with getting 60g protein each day - in fact I wasn't even close!!! ...because I just could not drink as much as those shakes made up. Anyway - DH found a Protein Powder at Whole Foods. It is made by BioChem and it is chocolate Fudge 100% pure whey. It is GREAT! And it mixes with only 6 ounces of skim milk or Water with 2 scoops of the powder. I mix with skim milk. It is VERY EASY to get in the 60g protein each day with just 3 shakes that are 6 ounces each.
Whole Foods has individual packets to try and 2 bigger sizes for more servings. I HIGHLY recommend this one. Also comes in vanilla and several other flavors if you "google" it.
Here's the nutritional info:

Before I found this protein, I was doing good to get maybe 20g protein in all day. Now it's very easy to get in all 60g protein that's needed. GOOD LUCK to all and take care!
