  1. i like the vanilla one you can mix tons of stuff into vanilla powder. The casein is tough to find alot of flavors. Ive only seen the chocolate and vanilla
  2. Gold standard casein protein powder Super slow burning and tastes great
  3. Thats all that matters. Somedays i can eat at all some days i can. You'll be good after a few more days. Good job on the 16 pounds
  4. To answer the only question you asked, yes you will be able to eat solid foods probably not everything you may want to eat and some days will be different then others. Just try it out you'll find stuff that works
  5. There are Tons of different flavors out there i recomend trying them all at some point just read the specs on the back of the juggs to see how much protein you're actually getting surprisingly some dont have that much Go Figure. Also see the added sugars and things because obviously you dont want wasted calories from alot of sugar addatives

  7. Most powders desolve in hot water, put the powder into a cup and add the tiniest bit of hot water into it shake it around then add your cold liquid to it
  8. Muscle milk tastes soo good but i prefer all natural so it doesnt adatives like sugars or sweeteners
  9. I use gold standard natural chocolate flavor its all matural no artificial flavoring or sugar added

  11. Ive been usin casein for a few months now and its been great i get the orotein i need and its slow burning so i really dont have an appetite through out the day i have a shake for breakfast and lunch then eat a regular dinner then some days i'll eat lunch and dinner but i always have a casein shake for breakfast
  12. Also its all natural
  13. Based on their website they seem a bit expensive 17 scoops for 22 bucks. I use gold standard casein protein its slow burning and really curbs your appetite in place of meals. You can buy a 5lb tub of powder for 55 dollars it will last you a long time

  18. Havent traveled yet but flying to florida on september first i'll tell you what i look forward to not being able to eat alot i'll stretch my hundred dollar disney meal for days haha : )
  19. Yeh thats what she said she also said sometimes if it sits too long then you go for a fill the saline could be pushed back through the tubing and just needs that push. I guess ince you hit green it wouldnt matter but i think im one fill away because after she did that and then added my fill i was nice and restricted up until a few days ago so its been about 3 weeks
  20. Can i tell you honestly for a year i was the same way it was like some days i could eat whatever i wanted no issue eating cheeseburgers at a bbq and then others i couldnt eat at all no matter how hungry i was. I hadnt been back to the dr in a year and hadnt been filledin a year. When i went in i told the nurse about everything( all the nurses in my dr office have been banded they know their stuff) i asked if there was something wrong she said no. I wanted a fill, after a year of nkt getting a fill it was tougher than normal she said its like having to oil a rusty wheel. She removed some fill and put it back in along with my new fill and since that day (july 15th) i lost 20lbs and feel alot better i dont have that issue with eating everything in sight and it feels like im back to when i was first banded. More energy more care more happiness : ) in my opinion i'd go get a fill if worse comes to worse you can get the fill taken out! The perks of the lap band. Good Luck
