Nope, no one called me that I know of. I think I read about the single digit carbs, too. Seems like unjury is pretty popular, maybe I'll break down and spend the $23 or whatever for their sample packets. I think it's like $17.95 plus shipping.

Can't really answer your question, but interested in the answers you will get. I ordered the sample of the Chike products, too, and really liked them. Especially the banana. I didn't analyze the ingredients too much since I had seem them suggested on this site. But you are right, maybe they do taste a little TOO good!

So I'm a lurker on the board, trying to learn everything I can before surgery. I just finished my last of the 6mos supervised diet per insurance requirements. My dr doesn't have a pre-op liquid diet, but I am trying to start with the protein shakes now, so if nothing else, I'll know which ones I like. My question is this...what do you mix with them? I bought samples of the Chike banana and chocoloate, and they are really good, but i mixed them with milk. Which I think probably adds way too many carbs. I know there are recipes out there for all kinds of stuff, but I work full time and have 2 very young children. I don't see myself getting out the mixer and making anything fancy. So my question is 2 parts...first, what do you mix with them? Do you mix water? And question two is this...what's your favorite protein mix that you can buy at Walmart, GNC, Target, etc. I don't have a costco or sam's membership. Thanks for any advice!

SarahS you look great! Wow! I sent you a message, I am in Cincinnati, too and wanted to ask you a couple questions. I hope you got it?!

Yeah, I have taken adipex in the past (8 years ago) and I lost about 90 lbs in a 12 month period. I gained it all back and then some after about 2 years. I "tried" it again last year and I couldn't tolerate it anymore. Gave me terrible headaches and made me extremely jittery. Sooo, I say try it and it will get you on the right track, but I definitely wouldn't consider it a long term solution.
