  6. What Is The Best Tasting Protein Shake Powder?

    Michelle Gelli Ruiz replied to readyfor50's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    I'm using About Time birthday cake flavored. It is REALLY good. It has a french vanilla flavor & has zero carbs & 25g of protein for an 8 oz serving. I mix it with 8th Continent Light Vanilla Soy milk & it tastes like an actual milkshake....to me. I ordered it from Lucky Vitamin.com. They have lots of great stuff.

    @ Zinhaa: I'm not looking for someone in my area particularly. Just someone I can 'talk' to here. Thank you so much for replying to me! I'm not on mushy food yet, but I can't wait!! I'm so hungry now all the time. I'll have some yogurt, or a shake & it will tide me over for an hour or so, then I'm starving again. I just keep drinking Water.

    Hi, I just got banded a week ago & have been rigidly following my Lap Band Binder that was given to me by my surgeon. I'm new at this & don't know anybody who has had it done, so I need someone to mentor me. I still have 5 days to go until I can start on mushy foods. I don't know anything about 'fills'. I'm finally off the pain meds & feeling good again. Let me know if you'd like to help me along! Thanks, Michelle
