  1. Unjury's chocolate splendor is amazing. By itself one scoop with Water verses milk and water at room temperature seems to taste the best. Then I found an amazing recipe. 1 scoop chocolate splendor, 2 tbs Peanut Butter, 5 to 6 ice cubes, 1 cup of skim milk and a little vanilla if you want. Put all in blender and mix. It's amazing! I've been drinking this in the morning and it's very yummy and a easy way to get something 30gms of Protein. I have a hard tome with the protein taste but usually i can't get past the smell. This kind has been my saving grace and the recipe doesn't taste at all like a Protein Drink. One other that initially could handle was muscle milks Cookies and cream. I'm just shy of 5mths and am dealing with slowing weight loss and some hair loss as a results of slacking on my protein. Perfect Zone also has a double dark chocolate bar that it manageable and 12gms.

  2. New to the group but am a August sleever! I am 31, 5'7", and weighed 353 the morning of surgery. I was sleeved 8-7-12 at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, Ohio. At 3 weeks I was down 23 pounds! So excited to put clothes in a pile that don't fit cause they are to big for a change! I had no problems with the surgery itself...went home on Tylenol only and never had to take nausea meds. I had to stay one extra day but that was for urine retention. My bladder likes to go into hibernation after anesthetic. I'd like to think i got along so well because i walked like crazy trying to jump start my bladder. I'm glad to see the loss but have been frustrated by a back issue (pinched nerve) that has had me laid up. Looking forward to seeing more inches leave me. Question? Has anyone had a peculiar yet strong smell to your urine since surgery? No UTI, yeast, or kidney type symptoms. Just curious.
